Mollie O'Callaghan and Zac Stubblety-Cook made it another golden day for Australia at the world swimming championships in Budapest
Mollie O’Callaghan and Zac Stubblety-Cook made it another golden day for Australia at the world swimming championships in Budapest with supreme displays of brinkmanship.
Once again, the Brisbane teenager won it the hard way, turning sixth after the first 50m, 0.61 behind Sjostrom. But just as in Wednesday’s semi-final when she produced the fastest second-half of a 100m freestyle race ever recorded – 26.43sec – to roar from last to first, O’Callaghan again timed her race perfectly, clocking 26.71 for the final 50.
Once in the water, though, she was nerveless as she became the fifth Australian woman to win the blue riband event after Jodie Henry, Libby Trickett and sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell, once again demonstrating the depth of the nation’s female freestyling talent.Stubblety-Cook swam an equally extraordinary race.
