Pallister pipped compatriot Moesha Johnson on Monday to wipe out that omission, as she came third behind record-breaking American Katie Ledecky."It's really special to win a medal," Pallister said. "It's really exciting coming to my first senior international meet and coming back to a pool that I loved three years ago. Moving forward it's a really nice stepping stone to see what I can do in the future. I think if I work the back end more rather than just attacking the front end then it's an event that I could do something really special in in the future."
