Frederiksen claims silver in S8 freestyle

Great Britain's Heather Frederiksen has taken silver in the S8 100m freestyle in a close battle for the second two medals.

American Jessica Long was the comfortable winner, smashing the world record on her way to gold with 1:05.63.

Then came Frederiksen as the best of the rest. Her 1:08.07 was good enough to see off the challenge of both Maddison Elliott of Australia, who took bronze, and American Mallory Weggemann.
