Great Britain's Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has claimed a bronze medal in her first World Championships in the 200m individual medley in Kazan, Russia.

The 19-year-old Commonwealth champion was in second place after the first turn and stayed on the shoulder of Hungary's Katinka Hosszu.

O'Connor touched the wall in 2:08.45, while Japan's Kanako Watanabe took the silver medal and Britain's Hannah Miley claimed her best world result in this event by coming fifth in 2:10.19.
