Team GB's Adam Brown bows out of the men's 100m freestyle at London 2012.

Team GB's Adam Brown bowed out of the men's 100m freestyle at London 2012 this morning.

The Cambridge-born swimmer never posed a threat to the fastest sprinters in his heat, coming in seventh with a time of 49.20s.

Brown was seeded in a swift heat that included Brazilian world champion Cesar Cielo, who could only manage fifth, but still made the last 16 with a time of 48.67s.

Nathan Adrian of the United States put in a hard graft and clocked up that fastest time of the heats, 48.19s.

Australian's James Magnussen, another pre-tournament favourite, also made the semi-finals with a finish time of 48.38s.

The men's 100m freestyle semi-finals take place at the Aquatics Centre this evening.
