Goals have been clearly set for some time so those who qualify to the standards we’ve set will know they’re capable of returning from Athens having achieved something – they’re not simply going to the Olympic Games as excess baggage.
This is a quote from a very Henryk Lakomy, Sports science & fitness director at British Swimming.
So they feel that Mark Foster is excess baggage ! :mad:
He could win a medal, but i guess we will never know and that is one less medal for Britain. Ah well, there is always the breaststroke. Which seems to be the only stroke that UK swimmers can do well !:mad:

Men's 100 freestyle (final)
Fred Bousquet confirmed he is world-class in the freestyle sprint events. After a 6-week taper, Fred of CS Clichy 92 won the intense race in 49.39. The surprise came when Amaury Leveaux of Mulhouse took second place in 49.83 ahead of Romain Barnier of Antibes in 49.85. Barnier was the only one to swam the Olympic standard in the semifinals, so he confirmed his visa for Athens. Bousquet will swim the relay but the federation has to consider his ‘case,’ as he swam under the cut twice, but not in the semifinals as is required.
Should he swim in the 100?
