Adlington won’t add the 200 freestyle to her Olympic program

Rebecca Adlington has confirmed she will not attempt to add the 200 meter freestyle to her tally of Olympic swims in June – meaning her individual medal bid in London will remain at two.

“I am doing the 200m at the trials but I am not tapering back so to be honest I don’t really think I will make it because there are other girls like Jazmin Carlin who will rest back for it,” said Adlington.
