Rebecca
makes Olympic 400m Freestyle final!
|
 |
City of Glasgow swimmer Rebecca Cooke
finished eighth in the Olympic 400m
freestyle final in Athens tonight (Sunday
15th August). Rebecca
was the surprise package of the morning with
a gutsy heat swim to make it through to the
final eight after setting a lifetime best of
4:08.18.
|
 |
She
led from the start in her heat to carve
1.31sec off her time and qualify fifth
fastest.
“The final decision on whether or not I
swam this race was only made a few days
ago,” said Cooke, who’s specialist
event, the 800m freestyle, takes place on
Thursday.
“I’m really excited about swimming in
the final tonight. It’ll be my first
Olympic final and the atmosphere here is
fantastic. It’s been really good.”
Rebecca was unable to reproduce the
startling form that made her the surprise
qualifier for the 400m freestyle final. She
was three seconds down on this morning’s
lifetime best and finished eighth in
4:11.35.
“It just didn’t flow tonight compared to
this morning. I just tried too hard and I
needed to relax more. I proved my speed is
there this morning so at least that’s
looking good for my 800m event on
Thursday,” she said.
