BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

He is experienced and in some ways more experienced than I was going in to do it, because he won six gold medals and I only won two in the Olympics before I won seven ... I think he is personally swimming through these Trials as I did, not fully tapered.

Now I feel like we knew what to expect and went through it and met a plan. He followed it, whereas last time that Olympic Trials was kind of an experiment in itself. Now it's part of our preparation for Beijing.

I was asked last night, 'Why don't you talk about seven gold medals?' ... You guys talk about it. I don't talk about anything. I just get in the water and do what I love to do, and that's compete. I'm a very, very, very competitive person.

Over the past few years, swimming the events program that I've swam, I've learned so much about being able to manage my energy, both emotional and physical ... I think in 2004, every race I would go for it. I've been able to learn over the past few years enough to conserve and save a little bit because my event program is so long.
