SWIM: Canadian swimmer set to hand medal to Reilly

Australia's JENNIFER REILLY will finally get her Commonwealth Games 200m individualmedley silver medal at a second presentation ceremony tomorrow.

Canadian swimming officials have decided not to appeal the decision to overturn theresult after a judge made an error and disqualified REILLY, elevating Canada's ELIZABETHWARDEN to a bronze medal which was presented after last night's race.

Canadian spokeswoman URSULA THIBOUTOT says WARDEN will hand over her bronze medal,which will go to teammate MARIANNE LIMPERT who was relegated from second to third.

She says the gold, silver and bronze medals will all be presented again at the aquaticcentre during tomorrow's swimming program.
