Meh. She's no Michael Phelps.
We've not had a British swimmer do that for 100 years, it deserves its own thread if i am any judge.
EDIT; Actually, i would have started it 100yrs or not,

.That was awesome, she destroyed the field and cruised to victory. She was what 2 seconds ahead of the old world record?! Incredible stuff, well done lass
Aye. She's only young if I remember correctly. 2012 will be a fantastic opportunity for her.
I was stunned by that, only Phelps has won a race with such authority in this Olympics.
Congratulations to Rebecca, all her fans and British Olympic Team - what a way to win that gold, in such a dominant style!
4th gold for Britain? Any chanses to pass the result from Athens of 9 golds?

Certainly, there's plenty more golds to come from the cyclists, supposedly a couple likely to come tomorrow in the sailing, and all manor of other chances from people I've never heard of competing of sports I've barely heard of either
It was 800 meters over that amount of time they are gonna separate, fair play to her though and congrats to her as well
It's really quite amazing how she has made such a massive improvement in such a short time...
Quite amazing........
Quite amazing........
Not another Michelle Smith I hope
Cock.
He's spot on though, the man makes everyone else's achievements look pedistrian
Thats right shes a woman.
This is her first Olympics and she anhiallated the opposition to take two Golds and smash a world record. Phelps came 5th in his first.
If she lived in America and had a world class team around her she may well of taken several Golds home as she would have swam the relays as well. Unfortunately there are no other British swimmers that come close to her level.
Wake up this womans out of the very top draw.
Well done lass.
Wonderful
