Bringing it home

Last 50m splits from the women's 400 freestyle:

  • Adlington 29.18
  • Hoff 30.71
  • Jackson 29.86
  • Balmy 29.88

Now here's a little story - Joanne Jackson's sister, Nichola, was probably the most talented female swimmer I have ever seen. She was a member of the GBR women's 4 x 200 which won World gold and broke the World SC record. About nine years ago I was driving both sisters to training across the north Yorkshire moors in winter and remember saying to Joanne that she could be better than her big sister and she'd better start believing it.
