Becky Adlington beats world record, gets Gold for Team GB

Rebecca Adlington made British sporting history in Beijing this morning as she won her second Olympic gold medal, smashing the 800 metres freestyle world record by more than 2sec in the process.

When Adlington won the 400m freestyle earlier in the week, it ended a 48-year wait for an Olympic gold medal for a British woman swimmer. Now she has achieved something no British swimmer has managed in 100 years of Games history, and won two Olympic swimming golds. This time, by swimming the 16 lengths of the Water Cube pool in just 8min 14.10sec, the 19-year-old from Mansfield bettered a performance that has been on the record books for her entire lifetime. American Janet Evans's 8:16.22 had stood, seemingly unbreakable, since 1989. 'I can't believe that I went that quick,' a clearly delighted Adlington said. 'It's so nice that when you work so hard for so long that it all pays off.'

Adlington's delight was made greater because her parents, Kay and Steve, had VIP seats in the Water Cube to witness their daughter's latest success, after having been involved in an internet ticket scam, losing £1,100, that meant that they missed her first gold medal swim. 'My mum and dad are finally here to see me,' Adlington said. 'I am so happy. I can't believe it.' Adlington destroyed the field in the Olympic final, finishing more than 6sec clear of the Italian silver medal-winner, Alessia Filippi. Norway's Lotte Friis took bronze nearly 3sec further back. Adlington's best friend immediately launched a campaign for further honours for her room mate: 'To the Queen, if you are watching this,' Patten told national television, 'that's two gold medals, and Dame Rebecca Adlington.' Patten was referring to the honour bestode upon runner Kelly Holmes after she won two Olympic golds at the Athens Games four years ago.

In the longest race in the pool for women, Adlington's stroke was long and strong as she averaged close to 30sec per length. For the first 200 metres, she had the Romanian, Camelia Potec, for company.But that early pace would prove too much for Potec, who eventually finished exhausted and out of the medals in fourth.Once Adlington's relentless swimming broke her away from the Romanian, she then set about attacking Evans's world record, a target which her coach, Bill Furniss, had told her was possible after she had set an Olympic record of 8:18.06 in Thursday's heat. 'I was just expecting a battle,' Adlington said, 'but as soon as I was on my own, I just went for the time.'

Michael Phelps Becomes Greatest Olympian

BEIJING (AP) - A daily double. Michael Phelps swam into history as the winningest Olympic athlete ever with his 10th and 11th career gold medals - and five world records in five events at the Beijing Games.

A day after etching his name alongside Mark Spitz and Carl Lewis with gold No. 9, Phelps set a standard all his own when won the 200-meter butterfly in 1 minute, 52.03 seconds, this morning. An hour later, he swam the leadoff of a runaway victory by the U.S. 800 freestyle relay team, which shattered the world mark by more than 4 seconds. In his individual event, Phelps had a problem with his goggles. But that didn't keep him from touching first and becoming the first repeat gold medalist in Olympic history. No such worries in the relay. Seemingly impervious to fatigue, the gangly American set a blistering pace of 1:43.31 - the fastest split in Olympic history - that got the Americans rolling toward a winning time of 6:58.56, the first team ever to break the 7-minute barrier.

"Come on! Come on!" he screamed at teammates Ryan Lochte, Ricky Berens and Peter Vanderkaay. The previous record of 7:03.24 was set by the Americans at last year's FINA World Championships. Russia took the silver, more than five seconds behind the Americans, who mainly had to make sure they didn't jump in the water too soon. Australia captured the bronze.

"Safe start! Safe start!" Phelps yelled at Berens before he dove in.

After a six-gold performance at the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps needed only five days in Beijing to surpass Spitz, Lewis, Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina and Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi as the winningest Olympian ever.

Phelps is now all alone at the top of the career golds list, with three more chances to stretch his lead before he leaves China. And with 13 career medals, he also passed swimmer Jenny Thompson as the most decorated American athlete in Olympic history. In his signature stroke, Phelps was second at the first flip, then pushed it into another gear, his long arms gobbling up huge chunks of water as he literally sailed along atop the surface, breaking his mark of 1:52.09 from the 2007 World Championships. Phelps barely smiled as he looked at the board, breathing heavily and hanging on the lane rope. Hungary's Laszlo Cseh really pushed it at the end, but settled for silver in 1:52.70. Japan's Takeshi Matsuda took bronze (1:52.97). Phelps rubbed his eyes and said climbing from the pool, "I can't see anything." A pair of leaky goggles kept him from even seeing the wall as he touched.

"My goggles kept filling up with water during the race," Phelps said. "I wanted a world record, I wanted 1:51 or better, but in the circumstances, not too bad I guess." Still, he had two more golds and two more records before lunchtime, leaving him just three wins away from beating Spitz's record of seven gold medals in a single games. He's also keeping pace with Spitz on the record front. Spitz set world standards in all of his wins at Munich; Phelps is now 5 for 5 in China. Everyone wanted to get a look at history, including the U.S. men's basketball team. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony were among those cheering on Phelps from poolside seats. James posed for pictures with Phelps' mom, Debbie.

In the semifinals of the 100 free, Australia's Eamon Sullivan and France's Alain Bernard played takeaway with the record Sullivan set two days earlier. In the first heat, France's Alain Bernard won the first heat in 47.20 to knock down Eamon Sullivan's mark of 47.24 set on Australia's leadoff leg of the memorable 400 free relay. That record lasted all of two minutes as Sullivan won the next heat in 47.05.

"Records don't mean much," Sullivan said. "They don't win medals at the end of the day, unfortunately. But it gives me confidence that I can swim my own race under pressure." American Jason Lezak, who chased down Bernard in the relay, advanced to the final with the sixth-best time, 47.98. The other U.S. swimmer, Garrett Weber-Gale, failed to advance.

Then it was Federica Pelligrini's turn in the women's 200 free. She broke the mark she set a day earlier in the semifinals, winning gold in 1:54.82 to become the first Italian female to capture a swimming gold medal. The old record was 1:55.45. Sara Isakovic of Slovenia claimed the silver in 1:54.97, and China's Pang Jiaying thrilled the home fans by passing Katie Hoff on the final lap to take bronze in 1:55.05. But Hoff's disappointing day wasn't done. Australia's Stephanie Rice completed her individual medley sweep with another world record in the 200 IM, her time of 2:08.45 erasing the mark of 2:08.92 set at the Australian trials in March.

Zimbabwe's Kirsty Coventry took the silver in 2:08.59, also below the previous world record. American Natalie Coughlin captured the bronze in 2:10.34, beating Hoff by 34-hundredths of a second. "It's a big surprise for me," said Coughlin, who only began swimming the IM a few months ago. "Any medal in an event that is not on your (regular) program is great." The glamorous Rice, wearing big green earrings that matched her country's colors, added to her victory in the 400 IM.

Then there's Hoff, who looked to be one of the big stories of the game when she qualified in five individual events - the same number as Phelps. The 19-year-old, who says Phelps is like a big brother, has yet to match his success in the water. In her first two races, Hoff settled for a bronze and a silver, which look pretty good after Wednesday. Now, she's got only one more event - the 800 free - to win an individual gold. "I would have liked to medal, but I got my first personal best of the meet and I think that's a good effort," Hoff said after the 200 free. "I can't be upset with that, and I'm just moving on to the next heat."

An inspiring Olympic story came to an end in the semifinals of the 200 breaststroke. Eric Shanteau, diagnosed with testicular cancer just before the U.S. Olympic trials and put off surgery until after the Games, failed to advance to the final of the 200 breaststroke. He finished sixth in his semifinal heat and 10 th overall, 13-hundredths out of the last finals spot. Japan's Kosuke Kitajima, trying for his second straight sweep of the breaststroke events, cruised along as the top qualifier at 2:08.61. He already won the 100 with a world record after taking both golds in Athens four years ago.
