Swimming: Nine golds for Hannah Miley in short-course meet

With nine golds and two silver medals from 11 events, Hannah Miley was exhausted but quite satisfied at the end of British Gas Scottish Short-course Championships at Tollcross Leisure Centre in Glasgow yesterday.

On the final day, she won the 400m individual medley - the event in which she is both European champion and Commonwealth Games gold medallist - the 200m freestyle and 200m breaststroke.

"This is all part of my training, but I am pretty tired," said the Garioch swimmer. "I hardly had any time in between finals and my push off the wall on the final breaststroke turn was the worst. But it's been a good three days."

Her first major date in the calendar this year is the Championship trials in Manchester in March. The World Championships follow in Shanghai at the end of July.

Commonwealth Games champion, Robbie Renwick (City of Glasgow), won his fourth gold medal of the championships in the 200m freestyle, while Warrender's Lewis Smith completed a hat-trick in the individual medley by taking the 400m event. A Nottingham-based 15-year-old Scot, Fiona Donnelly, had an outstanding meet. Having won the 800m on Friday, she added two more in the 50m butterfly and 100m backstroke and was second in the 200m freestyle.

In the backstroke, the teenager smashed the Scottish record and held off Miley, winning in 1:01.44, with Miley second in 1:01.77. Donnelly also came close to a Scottish record in the butterfly. She touched first in 27.92 - just 0.18 secs outside the record. Edinburgh University's Sarah Eaglesham was second in 28.58.

Donnelly took the silver in the 200m freestyle, 2.13 seconds behind Miley, who won in 1:59.12.
