MAIN FEATURE
Britannia rules the waves – IPC world championships                               
Forget about the football, the rugby, the cricket, the athletics.  We may not be world-beaters at the moment in our most popular spectator sports but in disability swimming Britain is the best!  An impressive tally of 24 gold, 14 silver and 14 bronze medals put the GB team literally on top of the world at the IPC world championships in Durban. Even the mighty United States (population 298m) could not quite match the Brits (population 60m).  They won four medals more than Britain 56 to 52) but only 23 of those were gold.

The Ukraine were the third of the 40 medal-winning nations with 47 medals including 20 gold while China (population 1.5bn) were fourth with 15 gold and 25 other medals.
