Two World Records; One Race

Unbelievably, in the final of the 400m Freestyle at the British Swimming Championships in Sheffield, both Jo Jackson and Rebecca Adlington broke the previous World Record (held by Federica Pellegrini). Now comes the crazy part, only Jo Jackson is guaranteed a place in the British team at the World Championships in Rome!! Rebecca Adlington will have another chance at the trials in Scotland in June, however I think that as the second fastest in the world EVER, they ought to bend the rules!
