Jazz Carlin's Mum: β€˜She always gives it her all’

Jazz Carlin’s Mum said she β€œshouted her head off” during Jazz’s race to win silver.

The Rio 400m freestyle silver medallist finished in eight minutes and 19.7 seconds, and was beaten again by record-breaking American Katie Ledecky.

Mary said β€œWe’re still trying to let it sink in. For Jazz to come out on top of the rest of the field was amazing.”

She added: β€œLedecky is like the female version of Michael Phelps, no one can touch her really, I don’t know what makes her that way but she is definitely one of a kind.”
