Claire Booker claimed a creditable
tenth place in the five kilometres long
distance event in what is her first
major championships.
It was only the fourth time that the
17-year-old national champion had
competed over the distance and she was
battling for seventh place at the turn.
But she slipped back after rounding the
boat and finished in four minutes,
20.20 seconds, four minutes behind
winner Rita Kovacs of Hungary.
Meanwhile, despite goals from Michelle
Timms and Sue Langston, Britain lost
to Hungary 12-2 in the water-polo.
