MONTE CARLO, Monaco, June 3. MONACO may be the gambling capital of Europe, but if you found yourselfd in the tiny principality today, you would have been well advised to put your money on Australia's Elizabeth Lenton.

Lenton blasted a 54.49 for the 100 meter freestyle, dominating a strong field. Sweden's Johanna Sjoberg was a distant second at 56.17. In little more than a year, the lithsome Aussie has zoomed up the world charts to establish herself as a genuine gold medal threat.
