AIMEE WILLMOTT insists she will be taking away far more than just a pair of silver medals from Glasgow 2014 after her performances provided further evidence she is on track for Rio.

The 21-year-old will return home with her first Commonwealth Games medals after finishing second in both the 200m butterfly and 400m medley events in Glasgow.

She couldn’t quite make her fourth final of the Games yesterday as she only finished 11th fastest in the heats of the 400m freestyle with a time of 4:12.28 minutes.

But after her exertions in the pool the evening before – where she earned a spot on the 200m butterfly podium – it was no surprise to her that her body wasn’t firing on all cylinders.

“I am obviously disappointed to miss out on the final, I knew that was going to be a really quick race but I woke up feeling sluggish and heavy after Monday night,” she said.

“I just tried to pick myself up in the warm up and I struggled a little bit, and then when I tried to go in that that third 100m I didn’t quite have what I would have liked.

“I always knew the last day would be the hardest, putting 400m at the end of a meet after a busy week was going to be hard.

“Some of the other girls had the 800m freestyle and they had enough so I just wasn’t quite able to pull it out.

“I am really happy with the meet overall, I was disappointed on the first day with the 400m medley initially.

“But when I look back I was two seconds under the world record at 300m so for me that is a massive confidence boost and I only really have more to come in that last 100m.”

Willmott has come a long way since finishing 11th in the 400m medley at the London 2012 Olympics.

In fact, this season alone she took her maiden titles at the British Championships, winning the 400m medley and the 200m butterfly – the latter being a stroke she classed her weakest not long ago.

And to see her efforts rewarded in Glasgow, Willmott is full of confidence as the halfway point of her cycle to Rio 2016.
