She is our Olympic champion for the first time in 48 years for a British women to win a gold. This medal is the very first for swimming since 1960. Rebecca Adlington best friend Jo Jackson won bronze as the Britons pulled off this major shock in the 400m freestyle with American Katie Hoff edged into silver by seven-hundredths of a second and Italian world recordholder Federica Pellegrini finishing fifth. This has been a very special moment for Rebecca Adlington and for Briton singing out loud God save our Queen when she stood on the podium with the gold medal round her neck and sang the British national anthem with joy in her face.
