Teenager Theodora Taylor continued her fine Commonwealth Games debut with a fourth-place finish in the women's 100m freestyle final.

The 17-year-old swam a Welsh record time of 54:00 seconds behind an all-Australian podium.

Taylor also swam in a second final alongside Medi Harris, Alexandra Bastone and Sophie Davies in the women's 4 x 200m freestyle relay, finishing sixth.

Tyler Melbourne-Smith finished the men's 800m freestyle final in sixth with a time of 7:59.79 in another final with an Australian 1-2-3.

Elsewhere, double Olympic champion Matt Richards qualified for Tuesday night's men's 100m freestyle final.

He was third in his semi-final in 48.21 seconds, giving him the fourth fastest time for the final.

Wales team-mates Dan Jones and Harry Milne both finished eighth in their respective semi-finals.

Rebecca Sutton was fifth in her women's 50m backstroke semi-finals, just missing out on a final spot.

Her personal best of 28.67 seconds was enough to make her second reserve for the final. Medi Harris finished eighth in her semi-final.

Amy Crowley finished seventh in her semi-final of the women's 50m breaststroke.
