Well done Abby!
The Largs and Millport News is just off the phone to coach Sharon McIntyre in Rio, and she praised the teen's battling spirit: "I am very pleased with her - she has matured throughout it all really well.
"Abby has handled everything that has been put in front of her, and has had the right mindset and attitude throughout.
Sharon had set a silver medal target for the Largs teen, so it was mission accomplished!
Sharon said: "I don't make goals and set aims or set challenges unless I know at the end of the day we can come out the other side and get the right result .
"Abby has the same kind of mindset - we work together so much - she has the same stubbornness as me."
"Nobody can fault her at all."
