What a swim that was. One of the best I have ever seen at the end and she is only 16.
Incredible stat was that YE was only 7 hundreds of a second slower over the last 100m than Ryan Lochte swam, according to Ian Thorpe on BBC now. I'd seen tweets earlier on that she'd actually gone faster, amazing performance!
On to tonight, Becky Adlington scraped through to the women's 400m freestyle final tonight. It's not her strongest event, but even so, her qualifying was very tight this morning, and she is the reigning champion. Tough ask for her in this though. Likewise GB's Ellen Gandy goes in the final of her weaker event, the 100m fly. The other final of the evening is the men's 4x100m freestyle relay. Favourites on qualifying times are Australia v USA v France v Russia with Belgium, Germany, Italy and South Africa the other contenders.
Could be on for a world record here in the women's fly, just! USA's Dana Vollmer wins in style!
