After swimming to silver over 400m freestyle on the opening day, Kiwi Erika Fairweather returns to the pool to race over 200 metres at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n
Fairweather, 22, is a former world championship runner-up over the shorter distance and should at least reach the final to contest the medals.<\/p>\n
On Sunday morning (NZT), Zoe Pederson was already qualified for the 50m butterfly final with the sixth-fastest time in the semifinals.<\/p>\n
The Silver Ferns begin their netball medal quest against hosts Scotland on Saturday evening, while Kiwis are also in action at lawn bowls, gymnastics, boxing and basketball.<\/p>\n
