There was other Welsh action in the pool tonight apart from the silver medal won by Ela Letton-Jones.

The women's 4x100m freestyle squad of Theodora Taylor, Meghan Higgs, Rebecca Sutton and Sophie Davies finished in the final in a time of three minutes, 39.81 seconds - a Welsh record by two seconds.

Australia claimed gold, while England and South Africa won silver and bronze respectively.

Taylor replaced Medi Harris in the quartet that qualified third in the morning session.

It was a busy day for Taylor who just failed to make the 50m butterfly final after finishing fifth in her semi-final and qualifying 10th fastest overall.

Josh Inglis failed to qualify for the 100m breaststroke final after finishing sixth in his semi-final.
