Lisa Dobriskey is starting to challenge Rebecca Adlington as the GB female athlete who doesn't know just how good they are and are far too modest for their own good.

The 1500metre runner cruised through to the final as the third fastest runner and looked very comfortable in doing so. Her finish looks extremely strong and she has a kick that could seriously challenge for a medal and maybe a seriously good medal at that.

Kelly Holmes won in Athens so the question is whether Dobriskey can carry on the Team GB flame. Holmes was expected to do well and came into the games as one of the favourites. She had already won the 800metres when she lined up for the 1500 so her confidence was high. Dobriskey though doesn't have that self-confidence underneath her but she does have the ability.

Could this be yet another surprising medal for Team GB?
