Australia pushed highly-fancied rivals the United States until the dying stages in a gripping head-to-head swimming event between the powerhouses of the pool.
abc.net.au/news/duel-in-the-pool-usa-win-in-sydney/101355846The United States overcame a spirited challenge from host nation Australia to win the head-to-head duel between the swimming rivals in Sydney.
Australia started the final night trailing 147-160 after a recalculation of points earned in the open water relay on Friday and the first night at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on Saturday. History was made when retiring Australia star Ellie Cole joined fellow para-athlete Will Martin, as well as Emma McKeon and Grayson Bell, in the first relay to feature para and able-bodied swimmers in the same event.
