Burnett & Brown added to GB team

Burnett has a wealth of experience at the top level

Commonwealth 100m freestyle champion Simon Burnett and teenager Adam Brown have been added to Great Britain's 4x100m relay team for the Olympics.

Burnett, 25, surprisingly failed to qualify for any individual events at the recent trials, while Brown said his selection had come as a shock.

"I am over the moon to have been selected for the Olympic team, it is a dream come true," said Brown.

"It will be an amazing experience, even more so as I look to prepare for 2012."

Burnett will hope to rekindle his best form in order to contribute to the common cause after hugely disappointing trials in which he missed out in the 50m, 100m, and the 200m freestyle.

"The past two years have been very difficult. It has been a downward spiral," he said after the event.

"There have been glimmers of hope, and then huge lows. I find one thing, change it and go to the next meet, and then it is worse than the previous meet.

"The most frustrating thing is not being able to figure it out."
