Not everything went to plan early on day three for the Aussies in Glasgow, but there is no reason to suggest the gold rush will be stopping anytime soon after another strong suite of heat swims.

Australia already have 11 gold medals from the first two days of action at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre, and the big guns were firing early with gold medallist Shayna Jack, Mollie O’Callaghan and Meg Harris diving in for the 100m freestyle heats.

Having already taken home relay gold, the trio are the top prospects for the individual event with Harris qualifying fastest ahead of O’Callaghan.

However, Jack had to settle for ninth after being reeled in the closing 25m of her heat to hang on for second place behind England’s Freya Anderson.

Speaking to Channel 7 post her heat, she admitted she had gotten her timing wrong, exclaiming ‘whoopsie’ as she saw her time come up.

“It was a bit more 200-style pacing, so I might have taken it a bit too easy,” she admitted post-race.

However, she was confident she could find more time come the semi-final in the early hours of Monday morning.

“I definitely am trying to keep the emotions at bay, but it is very hard,” she told Channel 7.

“I definitely have lived more in the moment here than I probably have ever in a competition, so I can actually feel it right now.

“This morning I woke up and thought I need a lot more caffeine, but I didn’t take it so I can get a good rest between now and the semi.”

Australia’s iron grip on the relay events at Glasgow showed no signs of abating with the men’s 4x200m team of William Petric, Brendon Smith, Elijah Winnington and Edward Sommerville finishing half a pool length and more than eight seconds ahead of England in second place.

Despite it being a heat swim, Sommerville in particular put in a lightning final leg as he looks to secure his spot on what will be an even faster line-up in the final.

Fresh off his stunning 100m success, Sam Williamson booked his spot in the semis of the 50m breaststroke despite admitting he did not get much sleep after his upset on day two.

Williamson won his heat in a time of 26.75, nearly half a second clear of the field, though still behind South Africa’s Michael Houlie (26.53), who looks like the man to beat.

“I did not get anywhere near enough sleep that I needed to last night. I was definitely running on fumes this morning,” he said.

As Alex Perkins eyes more butterfly success, she was outshone by Brittany Castelluzzo in the 100m, who qualified fastest in 57.91, just ahead of Perkins, who slowed in the final strokes, while Lizzy Dekkers claimed the eighth-best time to all qualify for the semifinals.

There were also strong performances in the para disciplines with Liam Togher, Tim Hodge and Harrison Vig finishing one, two, three in the men’s 100m backstroke S9 and will eye a podium lockout in the final.

Australia also had the first, second and fourth fastest qualifiers in the women’s 100m backstroke S9 to round out another strong morning for the Dolphins.

However, the performance of the night came from outside the pool as Australia’s Diamonds made England look second-rate in a 66-47 thrashing in a statement win.

Australia dominated from the outset with WA goal shooter Sophie Garbin on fire with a near-perfect 41 goals from 42 attempts as they equalled their biggest ever score against England to celebrate their 50th Commonwealth Games match in style.
