The Road To Beijing: James Goddard

The Road To Beijing Nice piece in The Times about James Goddard and the rest of the swim team:

"JAMES GODDARD took a long, hard look down the World Championships pool on his arrival with the rest of the Great Britain team on Wednesday, smiled and said to Sean Kelly, his Stockport coach:

'I?ve got that feeling again - can I do a timed swim?' The answer was negative, but the positive vibes from Goddard - who epitomised Britain?s frustrations in Athens last summer when he finished fourth over 200 metres backstroke, was elevated to third and then demoted off the podium as Aaron Peirsol, of the United States, was reinstated as champion - spoke volumes for the spirit of a Britain squad looking in one direction."
