British swimmer Mark Foster gets silver and bronze
Mark Foster added a silver and a bronze medal to Britain's tally on the
final day of the European Short-Course Championships in Trieste.
The 35-year-old swimmer, who took gold in the men's 50m freestyle on
day one, was second in the 50m butterfly behind Lars Froelander in
23.12 seconds.
Mark Foster then joined Anthony Howard, Liam Tancock and Chris Cozens to claim bronze in the men's 4x50m freestyle.
Ross Davenport set a new British record to win bronze in the 200m freestyle.
"I took my chance tonight. They don't happen that often so you have to
take them," said Ross Davenport, who clocked 1min 43.93secs.
The men's relay team set a new British record of one minute 25.85 seconds to finish on the podium.
There were also two fourth places in the women's events.
Melanie Marshall missed out on a medal in the 200m freestyle final by
just 0.12 seconds while Terri Dunning was 0.19s off a bronze in the
women's 100m butterfly.
Kris Gilchrist was sixth in the 200m breaststroke, with Gregor Tait finishing in the same position in the 100m backstroke.
Ros Brett was sixth in the 100m butterfly, Hannah Miley was sixth in
the 400m individual medley and Karen Lee was seventh in the 200m
backstroke.
