Fourth. But not the usual stomach-sinking fourth. Not a fingertip fourth. This was a different, more palatable type of fourth.

Roísín Ní Riain turned fifth at the halfway mark in the S13 100m butterfly final and proceeded over the final 50 metres to close the gap on the Uzbek athlete to her immediate left. It was a gap that shrunk and shrunk all the way to the wall. A notable gap still remained, though, when the wall came.
