Shorten wins silver with Team GB in women's four

In a historic Olympics, Rebecca Shorten becomes the fifth athlete from Northern Ireland to win a medal in Paris after Team GB won silver in the women's four.

Shorten, along with Helen Glover, Sam Redgrave and Esme Booth, were fastest in qualifying but missed out on gold, which was won by the Netherlands.

In a role reversal of GB's success in the quadruple sculls on Wednesday, in which Hannah Scott from NI won gold - it was the Dutch who pipped the British crew to the line by a margin of 0.19 seconds.
