Ellie Simmonds gets Gold


Ellie Simmonds smashed record to take gold

Ellie Simmonds lit up the Aquatics Centre on Day 3 of the London 2012 Games when she triumphed in her 400m Freestyle - S6 battle against Victoria Arlen and broke the USA athlete's world record by more than five seconds.



The pair were neck and neck until the end.

 
The crowd went wild with everyone on their feet cheering her home.


The Aquatic Centre joined in a rousing chorus of the National Anthem as Ellie was presented with her gold medal.
