The two-time Olympic champion from 2008's time of 4min 2.35sec was the fastest in the world this year, but she did not think twice about that.

"I am feeling so much relief, happiness, excitement – it's just an amazing feeling. I wanted this so badly.

Jackson who won the bronze behind Adlington in the 400m at Beijing 2008, and is still the British record holder, had to fight hard to hold off the double Commonwealth Games medalist Jazz Carlin, as well as Ellie Faulkner. That Jackson did it only made Adlington happier.</p><p style="text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">"I so wanted it to be Jo.

She is convinced it cost her the gold in the 200m butterfly at the World Championships in Shanghai.

Gandy was behind at the turn, but stayed underwater longer as she came back for the second 50. She and Halsall were neck-and-neck coming into the final 25m, but Gandy just edged ahead in the final few strokes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">The 100m butterfly will be as fiercely a contested event as any at these Championships. In 2011 there was just 0.12 of a second between Halsall, Gandy and Lowe. And as Halsall said: "Three into two doesn't go." Coming into the final, they were all in the top five of the world rankings.</p><p style="text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">But Saturday night provided a salutary reminder of the difference between domestic and international success, when Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom, one of several overseas swimmers competing here to familiarise themselves with the Olympic venue, swam 56.79. Gandy knows she will most likely need to break 57 to win an Olympic medal. She is sure she can do it. "That's what I'll be aiming for at the Olympics later this year," she said, before letting slip an involuntary yelp of joy as she realised what she had just said. "Oh. I'm so glad I can say that now!" As can Daniel Sliwinski and Craig Benson, who both qualified for the team in the 100m breaststroke.</p><p style="text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">The butterfly and the freestyle made it an enthralling evening in this impressive pool, marred only by a tediously insistent MC and a headache-inducing pop soundtrack. "It's an unbelievable venue," said Adlington. "And that's been all the talk of the last two days."</p><p style="text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">For some it took more getting used to that for others. The sinuous bulges of the roof posed problems for the backstrokers, who tend to take a steer from what they see above them. "It's not straight," said Gemma Spofforth after her heat. "It's actually quite awkward with the lights."</p><p style="text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">Her team-mate, and rival for the title, Lizzie Simmonds agreed, to a point. "Every roof is different," she said, before dissolving into giggles. "That sounds really, really boring. It sounds as if I'm going to start discussing my conservatory."</p><p style="text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">Liam Tancock shrugged it off. "If the pool and roof are off kilter, you do tend to follow the roof. But we race outdoors, where there's nothing to follow apart from a few pelicans and a couple of clouds." All three will be back in the pool on Monday, when they will hope to be experiencing the same kind of elation as Gandy and Adlington.</p></span></span></div></span><center><script src="http://adsensecamp.com/show/?id=KVkYASvY8Mw%3D&cid=TlffQoaJN%2F0%3D&chan=psvGwumfdw4%3D&type=2&title=3D81EE&text=000000&background=FFFFFF&border=000000&url=2BA94F" type="text/javascript"></script></center></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15693415252884760484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034012294406811876.post-47856591661099139582012-06-22T05:37:00.002+07:002012-06-22T05:37:00.144+07:00Jack Nicholson<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu6c0a39_LaA-l6lYNYQwM0LPz4rsazTYFR5bsd6_FZ0cLXu_cFmMwcsEmp1ilQirLl8JVkjMMUM4UZ6l64xvB1UU-GPzuh5eP70yyvEvVa0cHcgjXA18F5WMDYsHsJ_a_hC-bOzyInD6g/s1600/jack.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
