Olympic gold contender James Gibson has described his qualification for the British swimming team in Athens this summer as 'a relief'.
"I've got my ticket now, that's the main thing," said Witham swimmer Gibson.
The current 50 metres breaststroke world champion qualified second to Darren Mew at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, on Sunday.
"It's a relief to make the time more than anything else," said Gibson, who was made an MBE (Member of the British Empire) this year for his services to swimming.
