By
Australia have shocked the United States with a gold medal-winning swim in the 4x100m freestyle relay.
The early stages of the race were dominated by Italy, China and the United States, but when youngster Kai Taylor entered the pool for Australia, he made up two positions to put the team in position for a podium.

USA are the favourites, but Australia could spring a surprise.
With Kyle Chalmers anchoring Australia, anything could happen. They just need to be close with 100m to go.
Kai Taylor, son of Australia swimming legend Hayley Lewis, could win his first international medal.
By gut feeling is a silver for Australia, given Great Britain got disqualified earlier today for a changeover problem.

Australia’s women’s relay team win gold, break world record
By
The Australian women’s 4x100m freestyle relay team have smashed the world record to take home gold and absolutely obliterate the rest of the field.
It was a textbook start from Mollie O’Callaghan who put the Australian’s in the top spot after a 100-metre swim that already had the team ahead of the world record time.
When Olympic gold medallist Emma McKeon entered the water for the final 100 metres, the team were ahead by three body lengths - a lead she kept till she touched the wall in world record time.

Australia’s to lose.
Shayna Jack, as lead-off swimmer, pulled out a 52.28s this morning in the heats, which was the quickest time in the world this year for a 100m freestyle.
She won’t even swim the individual event here because Mollie O’Callaghan and Emma McKeon were quicker at trials.

Australia are looking to make it a trifecta of world champs wins. They’ve never broken the world record in this event at a world champs.
Can they do it? I reckon it’ll just be out of reach, but gold to Australia.
