MEDALS KEEP COMING FOR AUSSIES
EMILY Seebohm has secured another bronze for Australia at the world shortcourse swimming titles in Hangzhou, China.
The long-course world champion took Australia’s tally to four medals (one gold, three bronze) at the halfway mark of the six-day titles with a third placing in the 200m backstroke final.
On a busy day three in which Seebohm contested a total of six races, the Australian veteran led the 200m final under world record pace but was swamped in the last 50m.
Lisa Bratton claimed a surprise gold ahead of fellow American and hot-favourite Kathleen Baker.
Hungary superstar Katinka Hosszu finished a shock fourth.
Seebohm then backed up to scrape into the women’s 100m individual medley final as eighth fastest.
Seebohm was not done yet, chiming into the mixed 4x50m medley relay team – also featuring ex-partner Mitch Larkin, Grayson Bell and Holly Barratt – which came seventh in the final.
