  They do tend to be pretty decent at the Worlds etc.
  
  Miley was on the radio and did admit a few of the top names weren't there but she did bit the Olympic champion.

  It's not a massive team we've sent out, possibly because the world and european SC champs were so close together! But we are missing some big names from it.
  I punched the air just now when I saw that Hannah had beaten Ye Shiwen, after all the controversy at the olympics, we have proof that Shiwen is human after all!

  Looks like a pretty strong team we've sent. Have to be honest that whilst I enjoy watching the major Long Course champs the Short Course stuff doesn't really interest me much.

  I think the reason for that is because it's so fast paced (i.e. they're spending less time above water because of the length of the pool) Looking at that squad, I think only Hannah Miley was at the European champs a couple of weeks ago.
