Rebecca Adlington has come a long way. A hero at the Beijing games, she is the first team GB women to win a gold medal in the swim events and the first Brit to win more than one medal at a single games. What a figure! She fails to defend her title, but finished way better compared to her qualifying rounds (I inferred - because she was on lane 8) to bag the bronze. Camille Muffat - a name whom I have never heard before. She led all the way from start to finish, the gold was practically hers to take. 23 year old Muffat participated in the individual medley in Beijing, only making it into the semifinals at best. She switched to focus on a single stroke shortly afterwards and have since shine at world championships. :)) Allison Schmitt gave a good chase from start to finish.
