I've been an avid follower across all sports for 50 years. This commentary is up there with some of the best I've ever heard and it's fitting that it accompanies this monumental effort by the legendary Ellie Simmonds.

[@brianmorrison9168]

Just heard a bit of Ellie's 'Desert island Discs' podcast and she mentions this being her favourite race, so I thought I beeter watch it, although I'm sure I watched it in 2012 .. didn't everybody ? A great win and the commentary is perfect too .. brings a tear to the eye. Well done Eleanor May Simmonds O.B.E.

Wow Ellie is fast

that Ellie Simmonds 400m Freestyle from London 2012 was not too dissimilar to Leon Marchand's 200m Butterfly against Kristof Milak in Paris 2024 when against the ropes she pulled off the swim of her life in that moment.
