Swimming: Golden girl Hannah Miley back for more in Istanbul
The Garioch swimmer collected Great Britain’s first gold of the five-day event with Jemma Lowe claiming bronze in the 200m butterfly.
Fourth after the butterfly and backstroke legs last night, Miley produced a superb breaststroke to turn first going into the freestyle, 2.04 seconds ahead of Ye.

The Scot, though, held off her rival by 0.19sec to win in a new championship record of four minutes 23.14sec, bettering her own mark from the European titles last month.
