McClatchey targets relay success



Scotland's Caitlin McClatchey believes Great Britain's 4x200m freestyle team are ready to bury their Beijing howler at the World Swimming Championships on Thursday.

The event has long been a top medal priority but the British team made a tactical error at last year's Olympics, resting their star names for the heats and failing to qualify for the final.

It's an error performance director Michael Scott vowed never to make again and McClatchey - who won an individual 400m freestyle bronze in Montreal four years ago - is equally determined to add to her medal collection, alongside Jo Jackson and Rebecca Adlington.

"Im really looking forward to the 4x200m relay now and my focus goes straight onto that," said McClatchey, who failed to reach tonight's 200m freestyle final.

"What happened in Beijing is in the past now and we have learned to used it in a positive way, we now we have to stamp our authority down on world swimming as a result of that and that will be our aim.

"I wasn't expected to make the final of the 200m but a personal best proves I'm swimming well."
