Ellen Gandy has 'done a Fargus' and chosen to represent Australia in future international competitions. Having been based in Australia for five years and citing difficult travelling arrangements back and forth to Britain for trials, Gandy has taken the major step of switching allegiances.
It is safe to say the Aussies are pleased...
Burning Questions
• Could British Swimming have done more to keep Gandy swimming for her homeland? This is the second high profile change of allegiance in the last few years following Ben Hockin's switch to Paraguay.
• Coming a day after the review into Britain's failure, is the timing of Gandy's decision a coincidence / a direct response / a kick in the nuts?
• Will Gandy go full Aussie in future interviews?
- Journalist: "How do you feel about your switch to Australia?"
- Gandy: "True blue mate. It's all fair dinkum, British swimming's leadership is a brown-eyed mullet"
In recognition of her service to the nation she leaves behind, here is a reminder of Gandy's best moment as a British swimmer...
