Jazz Carlin won Olympic silver for Great Britain in the women's 800m freestyle, as Katie Ledecky secured her fourth gold medal of the Rio Games.
American Ledecky, 19, took nearly two seconds off her own world record to win in eight minutes 4.79 seconds, nearly 12 seconds clear of the rest.
Carlin, 25, was her nearest challenger, securing her second silver of the Games having finished second in the 400m freestyle earlier in the week.
