I lowered it by about 1.3 seconds overall on the day which I’m very happy with considering it’s stood for quite a long time.”
This summer Team England, supported by funding raised by National Lottery players, will comprise over 400 athletes and having secured his place on the squad, Perry is looking to capitalise on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for medal success in his home country.“I’m actually quite relaxed about the Commonwealth Games,” said Perry.
“I’ve only got one race, so I’ve got the rest of the time to enjoy the experience, enjoy being a Team England Athlete and enjoy being in front of my parents, who haven’t seen me race live for three years.
