Swimmer Tilly Gray is delighted to be on double duty for Team England after having the 100m butterfly added to her schedule for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Swimmer Tilly Gray has admitted that she is "honoured" to have been given the chance to represent Team England in two events at the Commonwealth Games.

The Swindon-born athlete was only originally selected for the 200m butterfly in Glasgow, but has now also been entered into the 100m race following an injury withdrawal.

Gray is excited about the new addition to her schedule, which begins on the first day of competition on Thursday, and has insisted that it will aid rather than disrupt her preparation for the 200m.

She told The Advertiser: "Looking at my taper plan, we'd actually put in a stand-up 100m swim. So we were going to have a 100m race simulation on the day of racing anyway. It's worked out perfectly fine and fitted in with everything else.

"There are going to be no changes to it. I've had a few really good sessions where I've been quite speedy so I've been saying to my coach that I'm ready now. It's almost as if I have tapered one week too early but having this swim where it is is perfect.

"I'll have the race simulation, working my body hard as well. If you taper too long you can almost get unfit and to have a race in there will help maintain race sharpness. It's all looking pretty good. It's some of the best news I could get. It's definitely an honour to have both events on my schedule. I'm really excited."

The women's 100m butterfly heats begin at the Tollcross Swimming Centre from 12.08pm tomorrow.
