AMY Smith was part of a GB team which came fifth in last night's 4x100m freestyle final.
Smith, Jessica Lloyd, Caitlin McClatchey and Fran Halsall drew inspiration from the crowd to finish fifth in 3:37.02 – more than a second faster than their qualification time.
Australia (3:33.15) ultimately took gold ahead of the Netherlands (3:33.79) and USA (3:34.24) but nobody could fault the British performance, having failed to make the final at last year’s World Championships.
Meanwhile, Rachel Bragg and her GB team mates made a losing start to their pool group by losing 3-0 to Russia.
In archery, Naomi Folkard was left to concentrate on the individual tournament after GB lost to Russia quarter-finals this morning.
