    Australia finishes World Para Swimming Championships with relay gold

    Australia claims its ninth gold medal at the World Para Swimming Championships on the final day of competition in Singapore.


    Australia has claimed its ninth gold medal at the World Para Swimming Championships on the final day of competition in Singapore.

    Lex Leary, Rowan Crothers, Chloe Osborn and Callum Simpson teamed up to claim victory in the mixed 4x100 metres freestyle relay (34 points), setting a world record in the process.

    The Australian quartet stopped the clock in 3 minutes and 58.40 seconds, finishing ahead of China and France.

    The triumph meant Australia claimed 26 medals across the world titles, having also won nine silver and eight bronze medals.

    Australia finished seventh on the medal tally.

    "Singapore was a successful campaign, especially by our measure of success for individual performance," Australia's head coach Mel Tantrum said.

    "In comparison, Manchester 2023 was our most successful world champs campaign in a decade, in terms of individual gold medals with eight, and we have equalled that.

    "We have a good mix of youth and experience, and our performance measures are being met."

    Australia also won three silver medals and a bronze on the final day of competition.

    Leary and Osborn finished second in the respective women's 50m (S9) and 100m freestyle (S7) events, while Thomas Gallagher was runner-up in the men's 100m backstroke (S10).

    Rachael Watson collected the bronze in the women's 100m freestyle (S3).

    Simpson left the meet with three golds, one silver and a bronze.
