Brits cancel 8th annual awards after poor performance at the Olympics

Wow, as America’s swimmers celebrated their Olympic success at the annual Golden Goggles awards in New York, and Australia prepared to host its own Swimmer of the Year awards bash in Melbourne, it emerged that the British version, the Splash Awards, was cancelled following the withdrawal of support from British Swimming.

@pullbuoy sadly British Swimming pulled out at late notice (didn’t want to be seen to celebrate after poor Olympics!) so I had to cancel :-(
