She may be unlikely to win a medal, but the photographers will be fighting for her pictures anyway. Sharron Davies, model, television personality and now in her second life as a swimmer, will need to produce the race of her numerous careers to finish in the first three in the 200m medley (heats at 9.0am, final at 5.0pm) but will provide hope for those who believe there can be a successful comeback no matter where she finishes.

A more likely British medallist is Mark Foster, who has a reputation as the fastest swimmer over 20 metres in the world but has yet to last the course sufficiently in the 50m freestyle (heats at 9.0am, final at 5.0pm) to threaten the world's best. A bronze in the last Commonwealth Games and encouraging form offer hope.
