I want to find out if a guy from college last year made it through, Nigel. He's a sprinter from Bedford. Member of Team GB. Dunno if he qualified or not and don't remember his last name either.

Yeah, I know Anna Bebbington, in the womens Double Skulls in the rowing; I think* they've had the fastest leg so far after a disapointing third in the heats; they came back first in the second round.
I also know the reserve member of the womens 4x100m freestyle swimming team, Jess Sylvester.
Both of the above went to my school/
I've raced against and had a few training sessions with Ben Ainslie in the Finn class sailing

55 of the GB team are either Loughborough uni students or train here, so it would be good for us if they did well.
