FUKUOKA, Japan : Australia's Mollie O'Callaghan stormed to victory in the women's 100 metres freestyle race at the World Aquatics Championships on Friday, capturing gold in a time of 52.16 seconds to defend her title and complete a sprint sweep.
South Africa's Tatjana Schoenmaker had set the benchmark in the women's 200m breaststroke with the quickest semi-final time and the 26-year-old will look to claim her first gold of this year's meet later after a silver over 100m earlier this week. Victory for the experienced Murphy over his younger rivals will complete a superb double at Fukuoka, after he won the 100m backstroke title beating the fancied Thomas Ceccon of Italy.
