EUROPEAN champion Claire Cashmore bagged the 10th IPC Swimming World Championship medal of her glittering career as she claimed SB8 100m breaststroke silver in Glasgow.

Competing at her fourth Worlds, the 26-year old repeated her result from the 2006, 2010 and 2013 Championships as she clocked a season’s best and the fourth fastest time of her career to touch in one minute and 21.15 seconds behind Russia’s Paralympic and defending world champion Olesya Vladykina (1:17.47).

“Obviously gold would have been nice,” said the Kidderminster-based swimmer.

I’m happy I’ve won the silver medal but I’m disappointed with the time – it wasn’t anywhere near where I’d expected to go and the main aim for me is to PB and be the best I can be.

“I’ve had the best season I’ve ever have and I was really expecting it to be there but unfortunately it just didn’t come out tonight.”

Meanwhile, Cashmore’s Great Britain team-mate smashed her own European record to clinch SB6 100m breaststroke silver on the second day of the competition.

Having initially lowered her marker to 1:37.45 to qualify second fastest from the heats, the Paralympic silver medallist sliced another 0.5 seconds off that time as she clocked 1:36.94 in the final.
