Olympics over for Britany van Lange

(Barbados Nation) LONDON – It’s all over for Bradley Ally at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Earlier this morning, Ally finished third in his heat of the men’s 200 metres individual medley in 2 minutes 00.85 seconds, and once again fell short of the time for the last 16.

It was not the way he wanted to end it, finishing 22nd out of 36 swimmers.

It was also the end of the line for Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson, who won her heat of the women’s 200 metres breaststroke in 2:28.77, 27th overall. She had placed fourth in the final of the 100 metres breaststroke earlier this week.

Guyana’s Britany van Lange also wrapped up her Olympic stint with a 1:01.62 in the women’s 100m freestyle, 42nd out of 48 starters.

However, the news was good for Bahamian Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace, who set a new national record of 53.73 seconds in the same event and qualified for this evening’s semi-finals with the sixth fastest time.
