SWIMMING
Double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington
was ecstatic to have reached her first Commonwealth Games after she
won the 200metres freestyle at the British Gas Championships in
Sheffield. The 21-year-old did not qualify for the 2006 Games after a
bout of glandular fever disrupted her training and she missed out.
Sprint specialist Fran Halsall went out quickest at Ponds Forge and
led at the halfway stage, with Adlington second, before the Nova
Centurion swimmer powered down the final length to touch in one
minute 57.87 seconds. Jazmin Carlin, conqueror of Adlington and
Joanne Jackson at the head to head against Germany last month, was
second in 1min 58.51 secs with Jackson third, 0.42 adrift. |
