Oliver Hynd wins silver in 400m freestyle after being edged out by Wang Yinan.

Oliver Hynd has won silver in 400m freestyle after surprisingly being edged out by Wang Yinan of China.

It was a close battle between the two of them. Hynd failed to use his quick finish to overturn the Chinese, who swam a fast final 50m to hang on with his time of 4:27.11 to Hynd's 4:32.93.

Hynd's brother Sam took bronze after dropping back in the second half of the race.

The third GB competitor Thomas Young just missed out on the medals, finishing fourth.
