Seebohm in tears over Olympic silver

Wednesday, August 01 2012 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Australia team Chef de Mission Nick Green and 100 metre backstroke silver medallist Emily Seebohm have been speaking about events in the pool at the Olympic Games so far.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: Nick Green, Australia team Chef de Mission (Q: On speculation regarding doping in swimming?)

    "As we understand, there has just been speculation against athletes who are swimming fast. So you know, I think from the athletes point of view, lets not speculate on what's going on. The athletes haven't produced any positive samples and they're doing a lot of tests, and they're swimming very fast. Lets give them credit that their training is producing the results."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Emily Seebohm, (Q: On how it feels to have missed out on the gold medal despite being the pre-race favourite?)

    "I know I haven't let anyone down but I think I let a little bit of myself down. No it was really tough last night and I'm sorry. Yes the emotions are really high and you know, there is just so much pressure in the Olympics. You put so much pressure on yourself and all you want to do is just go out there and represent your country and do a good job and I was just trying to do that."
