A silver medal to 20 yr old Danielle Aitchison in the 200 m. She was never going to beat the Chinese WR holder so great to be the best of the rest.

I am an evil horrible person who will burn in hell
But I just watched the dudes do no arm backstroke and it made me laugh out loud. Wiggle racing.

LOL. Agreed on both counts.

Sophie Pascoe just does enough to win gold in the 200 m IM. That's 4 in a row in this event. :clapping_hands:

The impression we have is that she's had a trying year to say the least, with a far from ideal buildup. Nice to get some rewards now

@canefan Yes, the emotion after winning last night was telling. Hopefully she has one more big race in her for the butterfly.
I didn't see the race but Nikita Howarth finished 4th in her 100m breaststroke final swimming with a fractured arm.
Danielle Aitchison backs up her silver in the 200 m with a bronze in the 100 m.

For someone who sets such high standards for herself, that was added stress onto an already poor buildup
