Jones wins gold

(Wednesday 13 August 2008)

Leisel Jones has won her first individual Olympic gold in the 100 metre breaststroke final.

Jones will now focus on her next challenge: winning another gold in the 200 metre butterfly.

"It probably is a weight off my shoulders and a bit of a relief but the 200 is a completely different race and there is still another final of girls who would love to win a gold medal," she said.

"I will just have to refocus after this, go back home and no matter how exciting it is, still remember that I've got another race."
