8 June 2014
Lizzie Simmonds took her second gold and Jemma Lowe won bronze on day two of the Monaco round of the Mare Nostrum Tour.

Simmonds (British Gas National Centre Bath) swam a season’s best 1:00.01 to win the 100m Backstroke and add a second gold to the 200m Backstroke medal she won yesterday.  Mie Oe Nielsen (Denmark) finished second in 1:00.17 and Daryna Zevina (Ukraine) took third in 1:00.50.
Lowe (British Gas National Centre Bath) swam another season’s best to add 200m Butterfly bronze to the 100m Butterfly silver she won on day one. Lowe touched in at 2:09.52 behind Germany’s Franziska Hentke (2:07.73) and Hungary’s Liliana Szilagyi (2:08.98).
