Former Olympians have leapt to the defence of champion swimmer Leisel Jones, who has come under fire today for her physical appearance just days before competition kicks off in London.
The three-time Olympic gold medallist should be judged on her performance in the pool alone, according to former swimming teammates Matt Welsh and Giaan Rooney, who say the 26-year-old's physique has not changed in recent times and that new photos of her training in London were taken from unflattering angles.
