Halsall misses out

Fran Halsall finished fifth in the 50m freestyle on the final night of competition at the Aquatics Centre.

The scholar suffers more disappointment in the Olympic pool

Fran Halsall was fifth in the 50 metres freestyle on Saturday as Ranomi Kromowidjojo claimed the sprint double on the final night of competition at the Aquatics Centre. The 22-year-old was desolate after coming sixth in the 100m freestyle in which she coveted a medal more than in any other event. Qualifying fifth fastest from Friday night's semi-final, the 22-year-old was in contention for a medal all the way but she missed out on a medal by just 0.08sec with a time of 24.47s.
