Half an hour earlier Jamie swam in the 50m Butterfly and managed an excellent 3rd place. He misses out on a second place by a mere .5 of a second. To miss out by such a narrow margain must be agonising but we must congratulate Jamie on two great achievments and hope that he can push himself that little bit further in his next event, which will be on Sunday 19th.
