JAZZ Carlin earned her fourth medal in the space of five days with another double haul in the FINA Swimming World Cup Series today.

The 25-year-old, who won 800m freestyle gold and 400m freestyle silver at last summer’s Commonwealth Games, as well as gold in both of those events at the subsequent European Championships, secured silver medals in both races in the seventh World Cup meet in Qatar on Monday and Tuesday.

Then today, the Swindon pool star added to her trophy cabinet at the final event of the series in Dubai, winning silver and bronze in the in the 800m and 200m freestyle events respectively.

In the afternoon’s 800m, Carlin stayed amongst the leading pack throughout the early stages and was just 0.18secs off the lead in second as she hit the wall at the 400m mark.

Lauren Boyle and Carlin then streaked ahead of the chasing pack, but the Kiwi swimmer was in indomitable form as she clinched gold in 8:25.96, with Carlin coming home second in 8:30.79.

Earlier, Carlin was the fourth-fastest qualifier through the 200m heats, with a time of 2:00.35, more than two seconds off Italy’s world record-holder Federica Pellegrini.

Swimming in lane six, the Swindon ace did cut the gap on Pellegrini (1:57.42) by more than half in the final but her time of 1:58.45 secured third-place on the podium as Hungarian Katinka Hosszu stormed to victory in 1:55.41.

Carlin will have the chance to go for more medal glory when she competes in 400m freestyle tomorrow, with the heats getting under way in the morning.
