After swimming three races this morning Jo looked a little tired this afternoon, but swam her all in her two breaststroke races finishing 7th in the World in the 50m race and 8th in the 200m, which we were thrilled with.

On the final day of the competition and Joannes busiest day - 2 breast stroke races, followed swiftly by a place in the medley relay team, we were a bit on tenderhooks on how it would all pan out as the team are beginning to look tired after 4 days of competition.

It.s like June in Huddersfield here in sunny Loano we have been walking around in short sleeve shirts and even some of the locals have shed their coats, warm enough for some of them to have a dip in the sea.

What a lovely afternoon seeing both Ben and Jo receiving their medals. Jo was up on the podium with the girls relay team and very happy to be there, although the x-factor news that Ryland had been eliminated came a close second for her!
Ben's blag is that he has now won more medals than...
