DOUBLE SILVER FOR BRITISH TEAM IN TURKEY

Britain's student swimmers picked up two silver medals on the second night of the World University Games in Turkey.

Loughborough University's Sarah Healey scooped silver on her first outing at the Games, in the women's 100m Butterfly. Healey was just outside her best time of the year as she won silver in 1:00.09. She edged ahead of American Demerae Christianson who took bronze in 1:00.16, but was just off the pace of Polish gold medallist Otylia Jedrzejczak who finished in 58.74.

In the men's team event, the British boys took silver in the 4x100m Freestyle as Chris Cozens (Loughborough), Todd Cooper (Stirling), Alex Scotcher (Loughborough) and Ross Davenport (Bath) made the podium for Great Britain in 3:20.45. France took the top spot in 3:19.91 and the USA took the final medal in 3:20.78.

Wolverhampton's Terri Dunning took gold in the B Final of the 100m Butterfly in 1:01.18.
