good luck to kate axford and her athletics - kate axford and her athletics ambitions. final medal across the fortnight in doha, their seventh in the pool, and it was also the 19—year—old's first global title. it was very close. all i could see was the girl next to me, and i wasjust trying to catch her up, but i don't have the best history of close finishes. soi so i was not sure. i had to get my hat off my goggles. i couldn't see the scoreboard and i couldn't see if i had won. the camera was on my face so i thought, maybe i have. i have to talk about the paris olympics, only five months away now, which seems mad, but it's true. where are you on your programme? these worlds have come at a slightly unusual time, they would not normally be this close to the olympics. that is what i meant when i said we weren't rested. we are in the middle of a hard training block at the minute. it was at a weird time, we were coming in not knowing what was going to happen and just using it as a good training environment to get some good racing under our belt before we went into trials. th
