| British Olympic team swimmer and gold medal winner Rebbeca Adlington holds her medals as she arrives back in the UK and pose's for photographers on the steps of their jet at Londons Heathrow airport on August 25, 2008. Britain's collection of 19 gold medals lifted it to fourth in the medals table and raised expectations of home success at the 2012 Olympics in London. Adlington, a virtual unknown outside swimming circles before the Games but now rapidly on her way to becoming a household name in Britain, has been promised a pair of her favourite designer shoes by the mayor of her home town.
