:11:14. > :11:19.chances in the Olympics? Three of the girls there with a top eight in
:11:19. > :11:26.the world last year. They are about one second away from where they
:11:26. > :11:34.need to be. But they are definitely in the hunt. That race replicated
:11:34. > :11:44.what the Olympic Games are going to be like. Jemma Lowe has another

:11:44. > :12:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:13:32. > :13:42.You do that in a very to pay for way. I was so nervous. I think my

:14:10. > :14:16.get that first place. I have to go and come down now.
:14:16. > :14:19.Huge relief for Jemma Lowe. She is on the team. But the race shows you
:14:19. > :14:27.how excruciatingly painful but base can be if you get the tactics and
:14:27. > :14:33.wrong. Four lengths of butterfly is excruciating if you get it wrong.
:14:33. > :14:39.She got a little bit nervous. Fantastic for Jemma Lowe on the
:14:39. > :14:46.back of the disappointment of not meeting the 100 metres butterfly. I
:14:46. > :14:51.am very pleased for both of them. That race is being cheered by about
:14:51. > :14:56.2000 people inside the Aquatics Centre. Come at the Olympic Games,
:14:56. > :15:06.there will be over 70,000 people in here. There will be a lot of

:15:14. > :15:20.Roberto Pavoni secured his place in the 400m individual medley, meeting
:15:20. > :15:24.Joe Roebuck. After words, Pavoni was understandably delighted.
:15:24. > :15:30.have been dreaming about this for years and now. It has absolutely
:15:30. > :15:37.come true now. Robbie Renwick was the man to beat in the 400m
:15:37. > :15:43.freestyle, and he cruised to an Olympic place. David Carry and a --
:15:43. > :15:50.and agonisingly missed out by half a second. It is absolutely
:15:50. > :15:55.phenomenal here. It is just going to be even more of a buzz knowing
:15:55. > :16:01.it is home Olympics. It is going to be great. And the Commonwealth
:16:01. > :16:10.Games gold medallist was at it again in the 200 metres free in a
:16:10. > :16:19.much tighter race. Renwick looks like he is tightening up. Robbie
:16:19. > :16:24.Renwick is going to add the 200 to the 400. After a torrid few years
:16:24. > :16:30.of injuries, it finally came good for the Prestwick swimmer. He was
:16:30. > :16:34.the surprise winner in the 500- metre breaststroke. And Craig
:16:34. > :16:44.Benson came in twice - a rare second to make the British Olympic
:16:44. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:58.team. -- came in second to make the right? Not so fast. He has achieved
:16:58. > :17:05.all of his a success in the 500- metre backstroke. Once again, Liam
:17:05. > :17:15.Tancock will have to double his distance to get on that podium.
:17:15. > :17:16.
:17:16. > :17:23.Here is the class of the field. men's 100m backstroke final. Look
:17:24. > :17:29.at that, right in the centre. Liam Tancock has about half of the
:17:29. > :17:34.centre. He is a rocket and he is really going for it. It is always
:17:34. > :17:44.traditional that when Tancock goes well he has to sit on top of the
:17:44. > :17:44.
:17:44. > :17:53.water. It looks a really good there. The first 50. The rest of the field
:17:53. > :17:58.is not able to live with him, I do not think. Chris Walker-Hebborn is
:17:58. > :18:03.a 200 back stroke her. He should come back. He is looking good.
:18:03. > :18:10.Edgar looks like Tancock has a little bit more control. -- it
:18:10. > :18:15.looks like. That was excellent. I was talking to his coach and he
:18:15. > :18:22.said that 300 would be great. That looked really good. A little bit
:18:22. > :18:28.more control than we have seen before. Liam Tancock makes the team
:18:28. > :18:35.for the Olympic Games. He was the only one to make it out of that
:18:35. > :18:42.final. Not a bad time. Is that what you
:18:42. > :18:47.were aiming for? Yes. I wanted to come and swim fast. Also medley, I
:18:47. > :18:52.wanted to qualify for the Olympic team. I have done that. I am on
:18:52. > :18:57.that team now and I want to swim faster in the summer. It is nice to
:18:57. > :19:04.be a part of it and there is a lot more training to come. He has got
:19:04. > :19:09.to get under 53 seconds to be in a medal zone. There are always two
:19:09. > :19:17.Americans in there. He has got a great friend and but he needs to
:19:17. > :19:24.work on the back end. -- he has got a great front end. Sometimes the
:19:24. > :19:28.one that you are best at is not the one included in the Games.
:19:28. > :19:34.would like to think he would be stood on top of the podium, but as
:19:34. > :19:39.frustrating as it is for him, he has to do the two events. I used to
:19:40. > :19:47.do the 50 butterfly and that was not alembic either a. He is a
:19:47. > :19:52.clearly dominant force. -- not Olympic either. You have the three
:19:52. > :19:59.fastest women of all time, British women. You have a Gemma Spofforth
:19:59. > :20:09.and Lizzie Simmonds, but watch out for Georgia Davies. What a scrap
:20:09. > :20:15.
:20:15. > :20:23.This will be very interesting indeed. A very good start from
:20:23. > :20:33.Lizzie Simmonds and a good start from just a couple were as well.
:20:33. > :20:33.
:20:34. > :20:40.She is just 15 years old. There is spot for it and Davies. Very strong.
:20:41. > :20:46.-- Spofforth. It looks like Georgia Davies over first. It is. It is
:20:46. > :20:52.quite fast. I have seen them go out quicker than that. Georgia Davies
:20:52. > :20:56.is normally out quicker than the others. One lane up from her is the
:20:56. > :21:01.European champion, Lizzie Simmonds. Gemma Spofforth is coming up as
:21:01. > :21:06.well. There are only three spots available. It looks like she might
:21:06. > :21:15.be in a bit of trouble. She is coming back. Gemma Spofforth gets
:21:15. > :21:20.the touch. It looks like it might be Spofforth. She has got it.
:21:20. > :21:27.Georgia Davies comes in bright behind. There is two will go. What
:21:27. > :21:35.a finish! -- comes in right behind. Gemma Spofforth just squeaks in.
:21:35. > :21:44.Georgia Davies comes in second. They will go. I am so pleased for
:21:44. > :21:49.you. We were holding our breath. thought this might be one of the
:21:49. > :21:59.last of my career so I wanted to give my all Andy pool. Some people
:21:59. > :22:07.
:22:07. > :22:17.do not understand how close you all will be at the Olympics. -- Georgia
:22:17. > :22:18.
:22:18. > :22:22.Davies. It has not quite snug in. A great race, but amazing to think
:22:22. > :22:29.that half a second slower, Gemma Spofforth might have terminated her
:22:29. > :22:35.career. She has got her groove back. She has been two seconds faster
:22:35. > :22:39.than that in the past. I hope she can relax now. There have been some
:22:39. > :22:45.family problems and she was hugely injured after falling off of a
:22:45. > :22:50.bicycle. But she is coming back. Lizzie Simmonds is clearly
:22:50. > :22:53.devastated to miss out, but she knew that she had another chance.
:22:53. > :23:03.She doubled the distance over 200 metres.
:23:03. > :23:09.The women's 200 backstroke final. Gemma Spofforth is in lane two. The
:23:09. > :23:18.world champion from 2002 is in lane one. None of them is the fastest
:23:19. > :23:24.qualifier. Gemma Spofforth is up and very slow
:23:24. > :23:29.to react. That is unusual for her. Very good start from Lizzie
:23:30. > :23:38.Simmonds. She is going for it again. A great start from the girls in
:23:38. > :23:44.seven and eight. Simmonds is taking all of the 15 metres. Very good
:23:44. > :23:50.start. She is doing what I thought she should do. A fantastic turn out.
:23:50. > :23:56.She looks a very good at the moment. She still looks strong. She has got
:23:56. > :24:01.to hold on. Stephanie Proud is coming back in five. Simmonds looks
:24:01. > :24:08.good. She has got to stay relaxed and hold onto her stroke. She looks
:24:08. > :24:17.very good. Lizzie Simmonds is going to make it. In the end it was very
:24:17. > :24:23.comfortable for her. A very good swim. Well done, Lizzie Simmonds.
:24:23. > :24:31.Massive relief. Lizzie Simmonds makes the team. She is the only one
:24:31. > :24:41.who made the qualification time. It is fantastic to go to the
:24:41. > :24:41.
:24:41. > :24:45.Olympics. It was still not the time I wanted. I didn't make the 100 and
:24:45. > :24:50.it was tough to turn that around and make it positive. It was all
:24:50. > :24:56.about doing the job and making the team. It was all or nothing for
:24:56. > :25:02.Lizzie Simmonds. She was off like a rocket. She had the speed. She
:25:02. > :25:08.literally dominated. I got very excited and nervous or her. She is
:25:08. > :25:15.dominating in the event. -- nervous for her. It was her space and she
:25:15. > :25:22.could have blown it. European champion, of course. In this event,
:25:22. > :25:27.look out for Muller said Franklin. She was only 16 when she won the
:25:27. > :25:31.first time. She could dominate, maybe not this time, but in the
:25:31. > :25:39.future. You have to think about Michael Phelps. He was very good
:25:39. > :25:45.when he was very young. Look at Ian Thorpe. She could literally when
:25:45. > :25:51.six or seven medals. Some relief for Lizzie Simmonds. She is through.
:25:51. > :25:57.Let's reflect on the successes for a sentimental favourite of British
:25:57. > :26:02.women. We start with a breaststroke. Kate Haywood has moved to
:26:02. > :26:08.Australian -- Australia to train. It appears to have paid off. She
:26:08. > :26:13.had a mixed couple of years with injuries but she was called Millie
:26:13. > :26:20.very impressive. I am so relieved. -- she was also medley and very
:26:20. > :26:24.impressive. I am so relieved. Today I thought I should do my own race
:26:24. > :26:29.and forget everyone else. That is what I did and it paid off. After
:26:29. > :26:35.finishing behind her, the 200 provided Stacey Tadd with another
:26:35. > :26:41.chance to get on the team. She got the time she needed, just. She
:26:41. > :26:48.secured qualification by the narrowest of times. And killer
:26:48. > :26:53.McClatchey was the one to beat, but reputation meant nothing. --
:26:53. > :27:02.Caitlin McClatchey. She was 4th until the last 50 metres, when her
:27:02. > :27:05.speed and strength saw her overhaul to get a spot at 2012.
:27:05. > :27:11.Perhaps her success is in part due to some of the insights that she
:27:11. > :27:17.gave in to what it takes to become a global medallist. She has been
:27:17. > :27:22.training with Hannah Miley. Hannah Miley is a Commonwealth gold
:27:22. > :27:26.medallist and she likes the events long and gruelling. Her favourite
:27:26. > :27:33.is the 400 metres individual medley. She is all fired up for that on
:27:33. > :27:43.Sunday. Hannah Miley leading after the fly
:27:43. > :27:44.
:27:44. > :27:50.and the backstroke. That is really hard to do. Miley is leading. Aimee
:27:50. > :27:54.Wilmott is looking good. Stephanie Proud is up in brief. Kerri-anne
:27:54. > :28:01.Payne is doing reasonably well. Hannah Miley looks so strong on
:28:01. > :28:11.this breaststroke. Look at the force up the sweep in. She is
:28:11. > :28:11.
:28:11. > :28:19.recovering. Aimee Wilmott is doing well to hold on. Miley looks down
:28:19. > :28:24.at the edge. This is very good swimming from Aimee Wilmott. I
:28:24. > :28:28.think she is using Miley to dragged her along. As long as she comes
:28:28. > :28:38.second and the time is after them at the 16th fastest in the world
:28:38. > :28:40.
:28:40. > :28:50.last year, then she will go to the Olympics. Aimee Wilmott is in
:28:50. > :28:51.
:28:51. > :28:57.second. Up in third is Stephanie Proud. Hannah Miley leads this
:28:57. > :29:00.final of the women's 400 medley. Aimee Wilmott is second and a long
:29:00. > :29:10.way back in there is Stephanie Proud. It really is all about the
:29:10. > :29:16.time. There are two spaces. Miley will get hers. She has dominated
:29:16. > :29:20.this race. Look how far up she is. That is the quality that she is.
:29:20. > :29:25.She is one of our best hopes for a medal this summer. She is showing
:29:25. > :29:33.her credentials. Aimee Wilmott will have to come back stronger. She is
:29:33. > :29:40.stuck in no man's land. She can still do it. She just has to get a
:29:40. > :29:45.34.99 seconds. She should be able to do that. Miley is dominating the
:29:45. > :29:51.race but look out for Aimee Wilmott. It would be great for her to
:29:51. > :30:01.qualify 28 years after her father. Miley wins the trial. A very good
:30:01. > :30:06.swim indeed from Hannah Miley. Really impressive. Aimee Wilmott
:30:06. > :30:11.absolutely killed it. Those two women are going to be going to the
:30:11. > :30:21.alembics. Look at that! They are utterly delighted. -- to the
:30:21. > :30:36.
:30:36. > :30:41.Olympics. Very impressive times trying and two better my time since
:30:41. > :30:50.did 1010, and to go faster than that is just shows that what we're
:30:50. > :30:54.doing is working. But anything can happen. You have to be very level-
:30:54. > :31:00.headed. You have to be prepared and aware that there are always people
:31:00. > :31:07.coming up behind you and you cannot assume that you will make it. I am
:31:08. > :31:17.going in at the same level as everybody else. It has not hit me
:31:18. > :31:54.
:31:54. > :31:58.properly yet. I cannot wait to tell month. So they Smith. Had that is
:31:58. > :32:08.usually there on her own, it will be nice for her to go him to the
:32:08. > :32:11.
:32:12. > :32:18.race it with a team-mate. -- Hannah. The individual medley is the first
:32:18. > :32:23.final in this Olympic pool. Cam Hannah Miley win that? Possibly.
:32:23. > :32:30.She was second in the world championships last year. If she
:32:30. > :32:40.gets it right on the right day, she will go even faster so it is
:32:40. > :32:40.
:32:40. > :32:47.possible. She likes to work hard. As does Michael Phelps. He
:32:47. > :32:57.describes the 200-metre butterfly as his bread and butter. But on the
:32:57. > :33:21.
:33:21. > :33:31.terms under water. Joe Robuck is making good terms as well. Great
:33:31. > :33:46.
:33:46. > :33:55.skill. Rocca is just off his Robuck is digging in there. This
:33:55. > :34:03.race is not over yet. Look at this. Joe Robuck has taken over the lead.
:34:03. > :34:11.Michael Rock is in second. Joe Robuck has already qualified in the
:34:11. > :34:21.400 medley. This is very fast indeed. Joe Robuck are just dead
:34:21. > :34:23.
:34:23. > :34:31.said. That is an impressive time. Michael Rock has got third. That is
:34:31. > :34:41.a bit of a surprise. Joe Robuck and Roberto Pavoni qualify. But Michael
:34:41. > :34:41.
:34:41. > :34:50.Rock did not make it. I am also be to get another one. This is a bonus.
:34:50. > :34:56.Does it help to get one in the back because you can relax? Definitely.
:34:56. > :35:05.It is almost like a job done. It takes the pressure off postop it is
:35:05. > :35:13.unfortunate. But they deserve their place in the team. Today, I was not
:35:13. > :35:23.quite good enough of. That was settled by a single stroke.
:35:23. > :35:26.
:35:26. > :35:31.Who'd a disappointment for Michael against him. They are used to do
:35:31. > :35:41.doing 400 metres so they have a lot more in the tank. Which are you is
:35:41. > :35:44.
:35:44. > :35:54.the most tough event? I would say their individual medley over 400
:35:54. > :35:56.
:35:56. > :36:06.metres. There was one last-ditch attempt for Michael Rock in the 100
:36:06. > :36:06.
:36:06. > :36:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
:36:51. > :36:55.is a good position as well. He is the British record holder. He
:36:56. > :37:05.is coming back well. And he needs to because he is not on the Olympic
:37:06. > :37:18.
:37:18. > :37:28.team yet. Antony James is coming back. Well done to it Michael Rock.
:37:28. > :37:28.
:37:28. > :37:38.He has really stepped up here. Michael Rock makes the team. Jack
:37:38. > :37:46.
:37:46. > :37:50.after the disappointment of the 200. -- I have been down.
:37:50. > :37:59.Michael Rock thrashing of the water with pure relief for there. He was
:37:59. > :38:04.under real pressure. He handled that brilliantly. He did not
:38:04. > :38:11.qualify for the 200 metres, and I think that was the one that he had
:38:11. > :38:15.hoped to win. He had to go home that evening and face up to that.
:38:15. > :38:21.And then he had to build himself up again. There was a lot of pressure
:38:21. > :38:28.on him going into that. Arguably, the big race of the week
:38:28. > :38:37.for the men was a 200 metres breaststroke. Three British men who
:38:37. > :38:47.trained together. Michael Jamieson and Adam Wallace were finalists
:38:47. > :38:47.
:38:47. > :39:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
:39:37. > :39:43.in the 200. It they have gone off if he loses. They are going head-
:39:43. > :39:49.to-head. This is going to be a really tight with just 50 metres to
:39:49. > :39:59.go. Andrew Willis seems to have overtaken. Michael Jamieson coming
:39:59. > :40:01.
:40:01. > :40:09.back was up the time is very fast. That was absolutely brilliant.
:40:09. > :40:19.Andrew Willis it looks so good. Michael Jamieson s second. What a
:40:19. > :40:26.great swimmer from Andrew Willis. Kristopher Gilchrist, the British
:40:26. > :40:33.record holder does not make the team.
:40:33. > :40:42.The it was a really competitive race. We just went for it. They
:40:42. > :40:46.gave it everything. Earlier in the week, you were very disappointed.
:40:46. > :40:55.But now you are going to the Olympics. I am so relieved now to
:40:55. > :41:00.be going. It has been a frightening last few days. There has definitely
:41:00. > :41:10.been something missing this week, I had been missing that extra little
:41:10. > :41:10.
:41:10. > :41:20.spark. I did or if it was a fear of failure that drew -- that drove me
:41:20. > :41:29.You have to feel for Kristopher Gilchrist.
:41:29. > :41:31.I have been on the team with them for a few years. It must be very
:41:31. > :41:39.difficult for them all because they are good friends and they train
:41:39. > :41:49.together. They were probably hoping that one of them would have made
:41:49. > :41:55.
:41:55. > :42:03.the 100. I think that everything went into this. UK back aged 35, so
:42:03. > :42:06.there is still hope for them. It may not seem like it here at the
:42:06. > :42:10.Aquatics Centre, but swimming is not just about qualifying and
:42:11. > :42:20.medals. It is a great way for you to raise money for Sport Relief.
:42:21. > :42:26.
:42:26. > :42:36.And this is how you can make a big the evening. It does not matter how
:42:36. > :42:38.
:42:38. > :42:43.good you are, everyone can have a Back to business here. A great race
:42:43. > :42:48.in prospect in the men's 200 metres medley. James Goddard is the
:42:48. > :42:58.favourite, he is an all rounder, but he is specialising in this
:42:58. > :43:23.
:43:23. > :43:30.event for the Olympic here. -- year. seen these guys. The really have to
:43:30. > :43:40.work this time. If they are going to go under the qualification time,
:43:40. > :43:47.
:43:47. > :43:52.they will really have to go for it. Joe Robuck makes a great time. That
:43:52. > :44:01.is just stunning. He is looking very good indeed. I expected it
:44:01. > :44:09.James Goddard to be leading. Now he is using backstroke. Luca James
:44:09. > :44:19.Goddard, he looks super. -- look at James Goddard. He is leading half
:44:19. > :44:56.
:44:56. > :45:01.way. But Joe Robuck looks good as stunning. Just macro -- Joe
:45:01. > :45:10.Roebuck's turns are just stunning. He is being chased but he is still
:45:10. > :45:20.at the top. Are they going to make the times? I am sure they are.
:45:20. > :45:27.Roebuck wins it. They both made the team, and what a great swim that
:45:27. > :45:37.was. Joe Roebuck wins the medley. He makes the Olympic team. James
:45:37. > :45:38.
:45:38. > :45:43.Goddard adds his name to the team as well. Michael Phelps is number
:45:43. > :45:48.three in the world this year. missed out four years ago. Busier I
:45:49. > :45:53.have qualified in three events. -- this year I have qualified in three
:45:53. > :45:57.events. It is brilliant. It is an amazing feeling. It is like a
:45:57. > :46:06.weight off your shoulders. I have been trying to keep it together all
:46:06. > :46:13.day. What a brilliant week for Jospeh Roebuck. He got into the
:46:13. > :46:20.Olympics with three different events. Despite racing up against
:46:20. > :46:28.Michael Phelps, there is the bronze in the 200m medley that is still
:46:28. > :46:32.open. The third place is up for grabs. That is why James Gardiner
:46:32. > :46:38.pulled himself out of the -- James Goddard pulled himself out to
:46:38. > :46:43.concentrate on that. It is slightly worrying for him. He said he has
:46:43. > :46:50.been suffering from a mystery illness that he did not want to
:46:50. > :46:55.divulge. It is a pure belief that he got through. All of his eggs are
:46:55. > :47:04.in one basket. The time mine does not change in a championship. You
:47:04. > :47:09.are either a ready or you are not ready. We need to just make sure
:47:09. > :47:18.that -- he needs to just make sure he can hold out till the Olympic
:47:18. > :47:24.Games. There is great news on Thursday night. The very first
:47:24. > :47:32.world record ever sat in this world -- in this Sir Terry Leahy. It was
:47:32. > :47:42.done by Ellie Simmonds. -- in this pool. She went on to become the
:47:42. > :47:48.
:47:48. > :47:58.interview. Many come regulations. You are very
:47:58. > :48:02.
:48:02. > :48:10.pleased, are you not? I just cannot believe it! I have been in races
:48:10. > :48:15.that I was not happy with. I knew I could swim faster. I had a bad head.
:48:15. > :48:21.I cannot believe it. It already looks very promising for her this
:48:21. > :48:26.summer, as it does for Fran Halsall. She has already qualified for the
:48:26. > :48:32.Olympics in the 100 metres butterfly, so she can relax going
:48:32. > :48:35.into the 100 metres freestyle. But with a place in the medley relay
:48:35. > :48:44.and other spots in the sprint relay, this was going to be a competitive
:48:44. > :48:53.race. Look out for her. You cannot miss her. Pretty in pink. Rebecca
:48:53. > :49:03.Turner is looking great in brief. Smith in five. McClatchey in two.
:49:03. > :49:09.
:49:09. > :49:14.metres individual freestyle. There is also the medley relay as well.
:49:14. > :49:24.The winner of this is going to have quite some fun. Fran Halsall got
:49:24. > :49:42.
:49:42. > :49:48.off a very fast indeed. She looks doing it. Fran Halsall looks really
:49:48. > :49:53.good. She set a British record in one of those shiny suits. She is
:49:53. > :50:03.going fast down the first 50. Smith is coming back. Ed looks like it is
:50:03. > :50:10.going to be helpful. -- it looks like it is going to be Fran Halsall.
:50:10. > :50:18.We said it Amy could dip under 54 at some time it would be great.
:50:18. > :50:22.Fran Halsall, winning the women's freestyle. A very good time indeed.
:50:22. > :50:29.Just at a Lloyd in 4th. He worked so hard for this. --
:50:29. > :50:35.Jessica Lloyd. I am 24 now. This will be my first Olympics come up
:50:35. > :50:41.which is quite late for some people. I am a -- Olympics, which is quite
:50:41. > :50:49.late for some people. I am a late developer. I want to enjoy this
:50:49. > :50:54.race and have a lot of fun. The pink suit is a lot of fun or so.
:50:55. > :50:59.think it was Fran Halsall's could she said that this was the fastest
:50:59. > :51:05.she has ever gone. It looks a really positive for her. She has
:51:05. > :51:08.got people pushing her. That brings the best out in her. She is going
:51:09. > :51:15.to have huge amounts of confidence for next year. She is only a
:51:15. > :51:21.fraction of a second away from beating the rest of the world.
:51:21. > :51:29.is going to be a very busy programme for her. I think she will
:51:29. > :51:35.qualify for the 50 freestyle. If you throw in the heats and the
:51:35. > :51:43.finals, that his nine races. There will be a lot of warming up and
:51:43. > :51:48.pepping and nervous energy. Rebecca Adlington was the focus of
:51:49. > :51:52.attention once again in the 800 metres freestyle. This is perhaps
:51:52. > :51:58.the event which represent her best chance of getting another gold
:51:58. > :52:04.medal at the Olympic Games. She is the reigning Olympic Commonwealth
:52:04. > :52:09.champion. She has -- gold champion. She has been setting some
:52:09. > :52:19.fascinating times. There will be no Jazmin Carlin in this one. She
:52:19. > :52:27.appears to be suffering from Grand -- glandular fever.
:52:27. > :52:37.Rebecca Adlington, lane four. She is a world record holder and an
:52:37. > :52:46.
:52:46. > :52:56.freestyle. 16 at length in this pool. A great start for if Rebecca
:52:56. > :52:57.
:52:58. > :53:07.Adlington. -- a great start for Rebecca Adlington. She has worked
:53:08. > :53:16.
:53:16. > :53:23.it pretty hard and faster than she Eleanor Falkner is on target to
:53:23. > :53:29.qualify. She has got to go under eight minutes and 29 seconds. She
:53:29. > :53:35.is still working very hard and is chasing Rebecca Adlington. Rebecca
:53:35. > :53:41.Adlington has been a little bit off for the rest of it this race.
:53:41. > :53:44.crowd here are being treated to a swim that is world class. A lot of
:53:44. > :53:49.people have come to this competition who were not able to
:53:49. > :53:53.get tickets to the Olympics themselves. They just wanted to see
:53:53. > :54:03.Rebecca and it is a treat to see someone like this in their home
:54:03. > :54:08.pool. It is quality. Rebecca Adlington is going to go faster
:54:09. > :54:18.than her record here. Two lengths to go. 100 metres. She gets the
:54:18. > :54:28.bell. She is going to go under eight minutes and 20 seconds. --
:54:28. > :54:32.
:54:32. > :54:36.think the crowd and know what is happening with Rebecca Adlington.
:54:36. > :54:45.The fight is being waived and people are cheering Rebecca on to
:54:45. > :54:55.this victory. People are urging Eleanor Falkner on. People are
:54:55. > :55:05.
:55:05. > :55:10.She should be able to. What a great display this has been. The World
:55:10. > :55:20.record holder is in the Olympic water -- pool and looks absolutely
:55:20. > :55:26.fantastic. It is wonderful to see. Rebecca Adlington secures the first
:55:26. > :55:35.spot. The second spot, well done, a loner for do. She is going to join
:55:35. > :55:41.a Rebecca Adlington at the Olympics. Look at Rebecca. She looks fabulous.
:55:41. > :55:48.She is barely breathing. She is breathing, she is breathing!
:55:48. > :55:54.Really impressive stuff from Rebecca Adlington. Eleanor Falkner
:55:54. > :55:59.makes the team as well. I just wanted to put in a good time. It is
:55:59. > :56:04.important to see where you are forced up I kind of hope I would
:56:04. > :56:12.poll five for this event -- where you are. I kind of hoped I would
:56:12. > :56:18.qualify for this event. I always strive to improve. I am so glad I
:56:18. > :56:24.have moved on from where I was last year. I am so glad I have improved
:56:24. > :56:30.by two seconds. I can look for ways to improve ahead of the Games.
:56:30. > :56:38.was Rebecca Adlington's target event. We are now joined by the GB
:56:38. > :56:48.performance swimming director. What sort of time was Rebecca's time,
:56:48. > :56:50.
:56:50. > :56:58.and what does it mean? It sets a high bar for the rest of the
:56:58. > :57:04.competitors. And she did her it solo. She goes out hard and leaves
:57:04. > :57:13.the race out and does her own race. That sent a signal to the others
:57:13. > :57:23.and they know she is on top form. How valuable has the experience in
:57:23. > :57:24.
:57:24. > :57:29.the Olympic pool Ben? -- in the Olympic pool been? It is a massive
:57:29. > :57:34.positive for us. We will take a lot of things away from this. We can
:57:34. > :57:39.start preparations for the Games now. There are still a few chances
:57:39. > :57:47.for more people to qualify. Is that exceeding expectations? The last
:57:47. > :57:54.few Olympic Games, you had the T2 in Beijing. How do you rate it? --
:57:54. > :57:59.32 in Beijing. I think we will reach our target here. We have
:57:59. > :58:05.another six swimmers that could qualify individually. We could have
:58:05. > :58:10.a team in the High 40s. That is something. The secondary trials
:58:10. > :58:17.will be in June. Remind us adore metal targets for the summer.
:58:17. > :58:23.want to match or exceed what we did in Beijing. We won six medals.
:58:23. > :58:33.Three of the medals came from the pool and three in open water. We
:58:33. > :58:41.
:58:41. > :58:46.will talk air have a maximum of two medals. We are in the position to
:58:46. > :58:53.do that. We have got to do it on the day. We wish you and the team
