LONDON Olympics silver medallist Michael Jamieson was in dominant form yesterday as a prestigious cast list was unveiled for December’s Duel in the Pool, the first of two major home-town events for the Glasgow man in the next 12 months.

Jamieson, who will swim for the European Allstars against the best of America’s breaststroke exponents at year-ending gala at Tollcross Park, proved his form at the Dubai leg of the World Cup with gold in the 200m breaststroke in a time of 2mins 06.68secs.

News of the 25-year-old’s win came just minutes after the two teams were named for the Duel in the Pool, and the fact that Ryan Lochte will spearhead the visiting challenge should ensure strong ticket sales despite Sky’s live TV coverage.
