We have a new Olympian on the block :DIn an exciting 200m breastroke final last night, Michael Jamieson led the race for the first 150 metres just shy of GB record pace, but was pipped to the post down the final length by Bath team mate Andrew Willis. Both qualified to make Team GB in the world's two fastest times this year (2.09.33 and 2.09.84 respectively). They're astonishingly good times which bodes well for The Olympics in July.
Congratulations, Michael from everyone at Smiths News. Now go for the big one!
I'll leave it to Michael to have the last word:
What a relief! I'm going to the Olympic Games!!

MIcheal so pleased for you, fantastic result. You deserve it with all the hard work you've put in. You've put a lot of smiles on peoples faces this week - well done
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for all the amazing messages, they made such a difference last week - especially after missing out on selection in the 100m!
ReplyDeleteI'm so relieved to have made it, I didn't realise how nervous I was until the last few days but it's now sinking in and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders!
I didn't swim as fast as I was expecting/hoping and it was tough to lose both titles but there is definitely more in the tank and i'm thoroughly looking forward to the next few months!
Hope to do you all proud, thanks again for all the messages of support, really appreciate them all!
Congratulations and best of luck for the Olympics!
