England’s Alice Tai dominated the S9 100 back final, finishing almost three seconds ahead of the field in 1:08.77. That was off her own world record of 1:07.66 but plenty to earn a gold medal.

Australia rounded out the podium as Ellie Cole took second in 1:11.51 and Ashleigh McConnell finished third in 1:!5.93. Their teammate Madeline Scott just missed the podium with a 1:16.12, good for fourth place.

Also swimming in the final were Scotland’s Toni Shaw (1:16.79), New Zealand’s Tupou Neiufi (1:17.10) and India’s Kiran Tak (1:47.95).
