J-Lo gives it her best shot
Published Date:

JEMMA Lowe's dreams of an individual medal from the Beijing Olympics are over after she suffered heartbreak in this morning's semi-finals.
The Hartlepool swimmer finished third in the first semi-final of the 200 metres butterfly in a time of two minutes 7.87 seconds.
Lowe then faced an anxious wait to discover whether she had qualified for the final, as the eight fastest swimmers from the two semis earn the chance to fight for a medal.
Sadly, six swimmers went faster than Lowe in the second semi, leaving the 18-year-old's individual campaign over after she finished sixth in the final of the 100m butterfly earlier this week.
The Borough of Stockton swimmer still has a chance of bringing home a medal though as she is part of the 4x100m medley relay, which begins on Friday afternoon.
A philosophical Lowe said: "I gave it my best shot and unfortunately it is just the way this crazy competition works."
