The final session saw Davies take silver in the 1500 metres freestyle, with the remaining quartet adding bronzes. Davies was runner-up as Yuri Prilukov claimed his third consecutive world title.

Prilukov — who won world championship silver last year — touched in 14 min 22.98 sec. Davies, the Olympic and world bronze medallist, finished in 14:36.30. The 23-year-old was ecstatic, saying: "I can't believe I just swam that time.

"At the end, I was absolutely done in. I used all the guts in me."

Tancock got bronze in the 100m individual medley equivalent, where he claimed his fourth medal in a race won by American Ryan Lochte in a world record of 51.15.

Halsall, 18 on Saturday, claimed her fourth medal with third in the 50m freestyle. McClatchey won her third medal when she was third in the 200m freestyle, while Lowe lowered her own British record to finish third in the 100m butterfly.
