The 23-year-old struck gold in her specialist 400m event on the first night of competition, breaking her own European record in the process, but last night, the Garioch swimmer was fourth with 50m to go before managing to touch in 2:07.12 to force her way on to the podium. China's Shi Wen Ye won the gold in 2:04.64, just 0.04 outside the world record.
