Two More Olympic Swimming Medals For Team GB Bath's Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and the men's 4x200m freestyle relay team add to the success in the Olympic pool.

 

Team GB has picked up two silver medals in the pool at the Rio Olympics, just days after the success of gold-medal winner Adam Peaty.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, 20, broke the British record as she earned second place in the 200m individual medley, beaten to the gold by Hungarian Katinka Hosszu.
Speaking after her race, O'Connor, from Bath, said the success was the "best feeling in the world".

 

"I didn't think I would get that close to Katinka Hosszu, so I'm over the moon.
"It showed what determination can do.
"Coming into this you know how Katinka has dominated, but coming down the final 50 I thought I might get this one.
"I'm still delighted, as I did a time I didn't think I was capable of.
"The more you race against the best stars in the world, the more confidence you get."

 

The men's 4x200m freestyle relay team of Stephen Milne, Duncan Scott, Dan Wallace and James Guy also won a silver medal - Britain's first medal in the event since a bronze in 1984.
Britain had qualified first for the final but they were pipped by the US team, led by Michael Phelps, who claimed the 21st gold medal of his career.
Guy, who failed to pick up a medal in the 200m and 400m freestyle events earlier, overtook Japanese swimmer Takeshi Matsuda on the final leg to bring home the silver.

 

The swimming medals came just a few days after Adam Peaty won the 100m breaststroke and Jazz Carlin collected a silver in the 400m freestyle.
In other results, Britain's women's gymnastics team finished fifth, Andy Murray moved through to the third round in the tennis, Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson came fifth in the women's synchronised 10m platform, and Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley reached the women's double sculls final.
