Why did the British public make fun of Rebecca Adlington?

Thats just a small minority though, haters gonna hate. Every single person on the internet will at one point be a victim of a nasty person who just throws around hate comments for the heck of it. You can't say why did the British public do this, because it wasn't every single member of the British public was it. It's a very small minority that will hate on others. Regardless, the nice people of Great Britain respect and love her, she is one of our Olympic legends and she always will be a British hero.
