Alia Atkinson is more than a little pleased with her results at the London Olympics where she placed fourth in the women’s 100m breaststroke yesterday.

The 23-year-old tweeted today “1:06:79 ranks me sixth overall in the world this year. Not too shabby considering I was 27th two days ago. Never give up, anything can happen.”
