Elijah Winnington claims gold for Australia at the swimming world short course championships

ABC  

Elijah Winnington has produced a beautifully timed swim to take gold in the world short course championships at the same Budapest venue where he first made his name as a Dolphins' powerhouse. Still more than half a second behind American Kieran Smith with 75m left, Winnington only got on terms on the penultimate lap, and from there, he was never going to be stopped as he raced home in 3 minutes 35.89 seconds, 0.42 seconds clear of another American Carson Foster with Smith eventually third in 3:36.31. Winnington's triumph was the highlight of another fine day for the Dolphins, with Lizzie Dekkers having earlier taken bronze in a support act to another world record-breaking tour de force from Canadian Summer McIntosh in the 200m butterfly. In the day's final event, Dekkers medalled again and Pallister won her fourth gong of the championships with a stirring anchor leg as the women's 4 x 200m relay quartet that also featured Leah Neale and Milla Jansen took bronze behind a world record-breaking US foursome.
