Sasseville wins bronze at world juniors

Canada's women's 4x200-metre freestyle relay team that took home the bronze at the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Budapest featured some local talent.

Chatham's Genevieve Sasseville swam the third leg of the relay as the team claimed Canada's first medal at the championships.

Sasseville and her teammates, Emma O'Croinin, Brooklyn Douthwright, and Katrina Bellio, finished with a time of 8:01.14, just behind the United States and Australia.

The competition continues in the capital city of Hungary until Sunday.
