SPOILT CROWD

Brazil's Cesar Cielo Filho then completed a freestyle double by adding the 50 title to the 100 crown he won on Thursday, but the lack of world records was puzzling the spoilt crowd.

Zimbabwe's Kirsty Coventry duly delivered by gliding home in two minutes 04.81 to seize gold in the 200 backstroke.

Sunday's men's 50 backstroke final looks wide open after Britain's Liam Tancock unexpectedly produced a world record of 24.08 in the first semi-final to fire a warning to Japan's Junya Koga.

Britain had less to cheer in the women's 800 freestyle final when Dane Lotte Friis beat Joanne Jackson to gold with Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington only managing fourth.

The day's programme ended in a flourish with China smashing the world record to win the women's 4x100 medley relay.

Australia came second but there was slight consolation for relay member Sarah Katsoulis, who qualified quickest for the 50 breaststroke final on the last day of competition on Sunday.

Compatriot Cate Campbell was also fastest in 50 freestyle qualifying.
