MOMENTS YOU CAN’T MISS
Men’s 200m freestyle, 7.56pm
Terrific final. If yesterday morning’s heats play out as expected, Aussies Mack Horton, Kyle Chalmers and Alexander Graham may well need big swims to upset England’s 2015 world champion James Guy and Scotland’s Duncan Scott, teammates on Great Britain’s silver medal-winning 4x200m freestyle relay team at the Rio Olympics.
Men’s S9 100m freestyle, 8.49pm
Australia’s Timothy Diskin and Brenden Hall quinellaed this event at the Rio Paralympics and are likely to fight out the major medals again on the Gold Coast.
Men’s 100m backstroke, 9.36pm
Queensland’s former world champion Mitch Larkin looked great in yesterday morning’s heat but this is the real thing. No roof, no markings in the night sky for bearings ... all the backstrokers have the issue to deal with. England’s Luke Greenbank is a danger.
Women’s 100m butterfly, 9.51pm
Another shot at gold for medal machine Emma McKeon. This is her silver medal race from last year’s world championships but she’ll have to deal with the pure speed of Canada’s Penny Oleksiak, the Olympic 100m freestyle champion. Australia’s Maddie Groves was fastest in yesterday’s morning heats.
Men’s 4x100m freestyle relay, 10.07pm
Whatever the line-up, it has been glory-or-bust over the past decade at big meets ... and always riveting viewing. James Magnussen was part of the gold medal relays in Delhi (2010) and Glasgow (2014) and he’s on the blocks again. The Aussies should have a lock on this with Olympic champ Kyle Chalmers on board.
