The Northampton High School teenager was being watched avidly by British TV viewers after her butterfly triumph on Friday night but it was not to be another medal.

Northamptonshire Sport tweeted: “Another really good swim by @EllieRobinsonGB 4th this time. Very, very credible against really tough opposition #proud #GoEllie”
