Lauren Smith made history in the pool when she became the first ever Scot to win a medal in the synchronised swimming competition.

Lauren was lying in third after yesterday’s technical performance and put in a superb performance in her free routine to take the bronze.

Smith, 27, was born in England but explained: "I really wanted to compete for Scotland for my dad, he's from Glasgow."

England's Jenna Randall held onto second place in the solo free routine, behind winner Marie-Pier Boudreau-Gagnon of Canada.

Kerry Buchan and Kathryn Johnstone qualified for the evening semi-final of the 100m breaststroke, where they finished 13th and tenth respectively, while Corrie Scott narrowly missed out on a place in the semi.

Craig McNally also made it through to the evening semi-finals of the 100m backstroke where he finished 12th.
