Rebecca Adlington rules out her chances of competing for Team GB at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games Rio is out of reach. I'll be 27 by then, and swimming, especially for distance swimmers, is a young person's game," Adlington told the Mail on Sunday. If I were to race in Glasgow - and that's an if - then it would be in the 200m and 400m but definitely not the 800m. I'm done with that distance. I'd like to be in Rio, though, even if I'm just a fan. Hopefully I can be a bit more than that, like a mentor, or have some kind of official or unofficial role with the British swimming team. Adlington has charity work planned but is not sure what she wants to do in the future. "All I know is that three Olympics is one too many for me," she added.
