In the swimming Britain has several swimming finalists: 200m Breast stroke sees Michael Jamieson who lowered the British Record by over a second and Adam Willis who beat his PB realistic medal contenders after winning and qualifying third overall. Is gold a step to far, realistically yes with the quality of the field, and can both medal I dont think so. I think Jamieson has the stronger chance of may be silver. But watch out for Adrian Moorhouse commentary as its his old event, and if we win a medal expect him to lift the roof off! Swimming: Gemma Lowe snuck into 200m Butterfly which is her weakest event. Chris Hebborn Walker and Marco Laughran compete in 200 Backstroke Earlier in the day Rowing finals start at Eton Dorney.
