Swimmer finishes semi-final in sixth position
Commonwealth Games semi-finalist Laura Kinley hopes she can inspire the next generation of athletes.
The swimmer held her own in a field of international elite swimmers during the Women's 50m Breaststroke semi-finals this evening at the Birmingham Games.
Laura recorded a time of 32.47s and placed sixth in her race. Of the sixteen semifinalists, she ranked twelfth.
It means she won't progress to the event final.
Nevertheless, says she hopes she's having an impact at home:
