Freya Anderson fumed after being pipped to the post for silver by five-hundredths of a second in the mixed 4x100m medley relay final.
Birkenhead-born Anderson, 21, swam the final leg at Birmingham’s Sandwell Aquatics Centre and looked to be dragging England to silver before Canada touched first in a dramatic finish.
In the immediate aftermath, Anderson was still left rueing what could have been but with the dust settling recognised that her fourth relay podium of the Games was nothing to be sniffed at, especially given she had already exerted plenty when coming fifth in the women’s 100m freestyle final earlier on Tuesday evening.
