Great Britain's David Carry books his place at London 2012 after winning the 400m freestyle gold at the ASA National Championships.

Great Britain's David Carry has booked his place at London 2012 after winning the 400m freestyle gold at the ASA National Championships.

The 30-year-old recorded a personal best time of 3:46.86s, ensuring that he will be representing his country at the Olympics for a third successive year.

"I've never been so emotional after a race before," Carry said. "This season more than any has been really quite tricky for me - I've had an injury and other things going on. So to come back to swim like that is just really incredible.

"And there was so much more caught up in it - knowing it is going to be my last Olympics, knowing my fiancee, my wife to be, is going to be there and I want to be part of that team too.

"It's just been an incredible journey this year - to compete like this at the last chance, the Olympic trials, is just incredible and at the age of 30 too. It's a dream come true."

Rebecca Adlington will have the option to join Team GB's 4x200m relay team after winning the 200m freestyle final at the ASA National Championships.
