Turner Finishes Sixth In Butterfly Final

The Portarlington swimmer has now finished sixth in back to back finals.

Nicole Turner had to settle for another sixth place finish after the final of the 50m Butterfly S6 in Paris this evening.

The Portarlington star started the first 25 strongly, passing the halfway point in medal contention.

However her effort faded in the back half of the contest to see her finish just behind her fast-finishing compatriot, Derbhaile Brady, in a time of 38.59.

Brady, swimming in her first final, delivered the performance of a lifetime to finish fifth in a personal best time of 37.67.

Yuyan Jiang of China claimed first to back up her gold medal swim in the 50m freestyle last week.
