Movie 1 min

Documentary

Capacity crowds gather in Blackpool, at what appears to be the South Shore Open-air Baths, to watch the women's swimming and diving trials for the 1928 Olympics - if only some of the spectators hadn't strolled in front of the camera! The Games were held in Amsterdam, and saw success for the Brits: Scottish swimmer Ellen King went onto to win silver in 100m backstroke, and Great Britain also took silver in the 4x100m relay.
