Paris 2024: Danielle Hill fails to advance in 50m freestyle

Danielle Hill failed to make it through to the semi-finals of the women's 50m freestyle after clocking a time of 25.02.

This was not enough to see the Larne competitor through as one of the fastest 16 from the heats, finishing 21st overall.

Hill's heat was won by Shayna Jack of Australia in 24.38, with Sweden's Sarah Sjoestroem clocking the fastest time overall with 23.85.

"I felt it was quite strong," said Hill of her heat. "I had another French in my heat so I got to experience that crowd again, which was really special.

"It was off my best but I'm racing against the fastest girls in the world."

The semi-finals take place from 7.40pm this evening.
