[Trulyloyale]

best wishes to your destroying attempts ....

[Trulyloyale]

of course she whopped , the one time the LZR Speedo ( most controversial & trickiest suit ever made , 1st to be banned ) was allowed in Olympics ....

Too bad all the other times before and after LZR addlington got destroeyd by outclass pellegrini  D ( just to put things rite )

[jackacw]

Adlington swam 8.25 800m at 17 (2007) and at duel in the pool swam the second fastest ever S/C 800m and a 3.59 400m in textile suits.

And jazz carlin just swam a textile 4.06 at 18. We will destroy pellegrini in london.

@Trulyloyale

Remind me where Pellegrini came in the 400m again? Not first, not second, not third, not even fourth but fifth. If this race had been another foot Hoff would have come third with 20m to go she was going backwards. Jo Jackson would have taken silver.

What a great day for British swimming and awesome British technology.

One thing I know, if an American had designed the suit it wouldn't be an issue.

She whopped the yank and the Italian's ass.

I remember watching this on the TV, bursting into tears of happiness when she got the medal!

She's broken the field, she's broken the field. DAME Rebecca Adlington.

[ncg1952]

What a champion. The training she must put in is phenomenal. Some athletes make you cry in admiration; this was one.

Greatest british olympian of all time in my opinion.
