The British Gas womens 4x200m Freestyle relay team secured the bronze medal after knocking another four seconds off the European record they set in the heats.
The final relay team, which featured Jo Jackson, Jazmin Carlin, Caitlin McClatchey and Rebecca Adlington, showed their strength as they performed impressively to take the bronze medal.
The Chinese and American team took the race out quickly from the start and Jackson swam a good leg and handed the race over to Carlin in a time of 1:55.98. Eighteen-year-old Carlin, who swam the fastest time of the team in the heats, showed her potential again in the final as she swam to a time of 1:56.78 and put the team into second place. The third leg saw McClatchey come up against World 200m Individual Medley champion Ariana Kukors and she put in a new personal best time of 1:56.42.
Double Olympic champion Adlington took the anchor leg for the team. The Chinese and American teams were turning within the world record and Adlington kept her stroke rate high to ensure she was close to them. Adlington fought off Federica Pellegrini's challenge to seal the bronze medal and the new European record after touching in a time of 7:45.51. The Italian did everything she could to give her team a fourth place finish, closing the gap from eighth at 600m, by swimming the fastest 200m of all finalists (1:53.45).
