For the third time in as many years, the Otago F46 para-javelin thrower was beaten by a world-record throw from Wales' Hollie Arnold at a pinnacle event.
Monday night would have to go down as the most unlucky too, Robinson breaking the world record herself with a throw of 43.32m at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
She held that for all of 23 minutes, before Arnold pulled out a mammoth throw of 44.43m on her last throw, snatching the gold.
You would forgive Robinson for being heartbroken, but the 23-year-old remained thrilled to set a new personal best and New Zealand record, despite the result.
``I was just over the moon with the PB and breaking that world record,'' Robinson said of how she felt during the competition.
``But it's not over until the last throw is thrown, and I knew that.
``Hollie Arnold from Wales is really strong in the last round, so I knew that was probably going to be the round she'd take it off me if she could - and she did.
``So well done to her on her new PB. It was a really great throw, but I was just super stoked with that first round and to get that PB, it's been a long time coming.''
The personal best came somewhat unexpectedly for Robinson, as she was just looking to get a safe throw in the first round.
After she felt not so great during warm-ups, the throw just came out well and ''felt really good''.
She did admit it would have been great to get the gold, having now won four major event silver medals and being pipped by Arnold each time.
Despite that, she remained philosophical about the colour of the medal.
``I really can't complain, but at the same time it would have been really cool to get that gold.
``But sport is sport.
``I'm more than happy to be beaten by a better person on the day.
``I would have really liked it to be me on that top spot but credit to her, she pulled it out when it mattered.
``We both pushed each other in that competition and she came up to me and said that at the end, so I think that's important.''
Robinson was enjoying her time in the village and was looking forward to watching some of the other events before returning to Dunedin at the conclusion of the Games.
