Kat Driscoll: “I knew that in the final if I wanted to be in with a medal chance I had to go out there and nail and perfect routine so I really went for it and unfortunately today it didn’t pay off. Overall I’m really happy with the championships, the key aim was to qualify an Olympic spot for GBR which I managed to do, and to then go on and win the team silver and sychrno bronze was a fantastic bonus.”
