At the British Gas ASA National Swimming Championships 2012 today, David Carry booked a spot at his third Olympic Games, overhauling Ieuan Lloyd on the final 50m in the men’s 400 freestyle to set a lifetime best of 3:46.86, old PB being 3:47.17 from Beijing 2008. An impressive comeback after the Trials in March when he was only 0.23 seconds from making the qualifying time of 3:48.92.
“I’ve never been so emotional after a swim before,” said Carry. “Just before the first trials I had a back injury which was the first time I’ve had an injury my whole career.”
