Consie bettered her 100 bronze with a silver in the 200 final.

W70 200 final

2 Larmour, Constance W70 Australia, Canberra 36.61
3 Reed, Louise W70 Canada, Richmond 37.59

And it looks like the M55s have to run heats, semis and finals of the 800 - look at all the qualifiers! And some of their slow times.
I think our system of divisions is much easier on the athletes!
