Alex Perkins and Matt Temple win bronze at swimming world short course championships

ABC  

Alex Perkins and Matt Temple grabbed bronze medals for Australia on a record-shattering day, again dominated by US sensation Gretchen Walsh at the world short course swimming championships in Budapest. Perkins took bronze in the women's 100m butterfly final on Saturday, while Temple also finished third in the equivalent men's event. "I was definitely a little bit shocked, it was quite a short turnaround, but everything's going my way," shrugged the American, who has broken nine world records over the week, including one in a relay, and could well smash a 10th in Sunday's final of the freestyle dash. Minutes after Perkins had grabbed her bronze, 25-year-old Victorian Temple also played his part in a record-breaking affair as he came home third in 48.71sec behind Frenchman Maxime Grousset and Swiss Noe Ponti, who broke Caeleb Dressel's 100m fly record in 47.71sec.
