Team Northern Ireland swimmer Victoria Catterson has pulled out of the rest of the Commonwealth Games on medical advice.
Catterson had raced in the 200m freestyle semi-final on Saturday and the women's 4x100m freestyle relay final on Friday.
She was set to feature in the women's 100m freestyle heats but has now withdrawn from the competition.
"On advice from the doc, I've decided to medically withdraw from the rest of the races here in Glasgow," Catterson posted on Instagram.
"I never take representing my country lightly and it's devestating I'm in this position. I'd like to thank Team NI for seeing to me so quickly and putting my health first.
"Time to get home and get healthy for Europeans in August and be the biggest Team NI cheerleader."
