It’s a massive Monday night of medals action at the pool. There’s going to be nine finals – four in men’s events, five in women’s – and at least one Australian competing in every one.
The night will start with the 200m backstroke final – Australian Mitch Larkin looks good for a gold here, while fellow countrymen Bradley Woodward and Josh Beaver are also medal chances.
The women’s 800m freestyle includes Aussie Jessica Ashwood, who set a blistering qualifying time and is comfortable favourite.
The Campbell sisters will compete in the women’s 100m freestyle – arguably the premier event of the night. the Cate looks to be the unbackable favourite here , whilst we’re also a chance for a medal in the night’s final event – the men’s 100m butterfly.
A pair of breaststroke finals – the men’s 50m and women’s 100m – will be contested a little later, and whilst Aussies are a bit more uncertain as gold chances, we should feature on the podium for both.
Two para-races, the men’s s7 50m freestyle and women’s SB9 100m breaststroke finals, will also be competed.
