Seb Rodger: made Olympic selection by the skin of his teeth this year
GOING to the Olympics is every athlete’s dream. To put on the Great Britain vest and represent my country at the biggest sporting event in the world, meant everything to me. Even having done it now, it still doesn’t seem real.
I achieved the qualifying time for Rio on the very last possible day. In future, it would be nice not to leave gaining the qualifying time quite as late, as I think I almost gave everyone heart failure. Despite having won the British Championships and Olympic trials, I still needed that time, and the excitement and relief of running the Olympic standard when everything was stacked against me, was amazing.
