OLYMPIC BRONZE TO RWS SWIMMER

Wednesday 25th August 2010 in General

Team GB swimmer Rachael Kelly (pictured), who is Sixth Form student at The Royal Wolverhampton School, won a bronze medal in the final of the women's 100m butterfly on Friday 20th August at the Singapore Sports School.

Rachael's time was 1.00.26 with the winner Liu Lan (china) on 59.67 and second Judit Ignacio (Spain) on 1.00.07.

Team GB swimmer Rachael Kelly reached the final of the women's 100m butterfly after successfully negotiating the heats and semi-final. Kelly qualified seventh fastest for the final and said: "I'm pleased to be in the final, but I would've liked to have secured a better lane. It's always hard from the outside lanes, but hopefully they won't see me coming".

The event is the 1st World Youth Olympics, and Rachael has been accompanied by The Royal Wolverhampton School's Head Coach Nathan Hilton in his capacity as one of the official Great Britain Swimming coaches .

Kelly got the evening of swimming action off to a flying start with bronze in the women's 100m butterfly final in a time of 1:00.26. Kelly said: "I had been saying all week that I was waiting for the 100m final so it feels amazing to get a medal. I haven't swum spectacularly well throughout the week, but I have been improving and so to have got a medal at the end of it feels fantastic."
