AUSTRALIAN head coach Danny Short has praised his team for \u201cdigging deep\u201d in easily the most competitive start to any Lifesaving World Championships on record after the first day of pool lifesaving events in Montpellier today.<\/p>\n<p>The Australians, with Olympians Ryan Napoleon and Naomi Flood, both on the podium, finished with one silver and two bronze medals and four Australian records.<\/p>\n<p>It has kick-started its World Lifesaving Championships, Rescue 2014 campaign in fine style.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Rescue 2014 website, the Australians are placed third on the pointscore behind host nation France and defending champions New Zealand with Australia in a stronger position than they were two years ago after the opening day.<\/p>\n<p>Napoleon had a busy day \u2013 twice lowering the Australian record in the 200m Obstacle Swim \u2013 and was right in the mix in a classic Trans Tasman shoot out against Kiwi Olympians Steve Kent and Andy McMillian, with Kent smashing the world record.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was busy that&#8217;s for sure; I\u2019m ready to crash; but happy to swim a couple of PBs in what was a great race with the New Zealand boys before coming together with the boys in the relay,&#8221; said Napoleon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But seeing I have only been doing this for 12 months, I couldn&#8217;t be happier for myself and more importantly the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2010 Commonwealth Games swimming gold medallist and London Olympic finalist made a move down the third lap in the 200m Obstacle Swim, a tactic he has used in his swimming career, and as hard as he fought it was Kent who edged in front to set a new world record of 1:53.73 ahead of McMillan with Napoleon stopping the clock at 1:53.93.<\/p>\n<p>The Currumbin\u00a0 Beach Viking\/RLSS QLD representative then backed up for fourth in the 100m Rescue Medley to Germany\u2019s Danny Wieck, with Kent and MacMillan taking the minor placings.<\/p>\n<p>Napoleon was back in the water, swimming the second leg of the 4x25m Manikin Tow Relay &#8211; the final event of the day.<\/p>\n<p>First swimmer Andrew Bowden gave Australia an opening lead, which Napoleon and Tim Schofield kept and in a thrilling, blanket finish it was the German swimmer who edged out Ironman Shannon Eckstein in a touch \u2013 the Australians setting a New National mark and clocking a time if 1:06.56 with Germany setting the new world record of 1:06.15 &#8211; and the Aussie foursome also under the old world mark.<\/p>\n<p>Australia\u2019s other individual medal came from Flood who showed her remarkable versatility, coming from the recent World Kayak Championships to snatch a bronze in the 100m Manikin Tow With Fins, stopping the clock in a new Australian record time of 1:00.46, with team mate Pamela Hendry a close-up fifth in 1:01.04.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was certainly a great day\u2019s racing and full marks to Ryan and Naomi who are special athletes and the boys in the relay in what was a thrilling final event that went right down to the wire,\u201d said Short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI reckon Shannon Eckstein is the only Australian Ironman champion who has ever broken a world record in pool lifesaving; the whole team dug deep and it was an encouraging start for us on a day that saw the Kiwis, the French and Germans all swim fast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial mention also to Pamela Hendry who was never out of the water , swimming in four finals \u2013 two individual and two relays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It already betters Australia&#8217;s pool lifesaving medal tally from Adelaide in 2012 with the second day remaining tomorrow, before the SERC on Friday and the beach events at Couchant Beach, La Grande Motte on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-AU\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rescue2014.fr\/web\/en\/90-world-championships-national-teams-open-results.php\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\">FULL RESULTS<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Australia\u2019s results, which saw the team gather valuable points are:<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Napoleon 1:53.93 (3rd) 200m Obstacle Swim<\/p>\n<p>Miranda Bell 2:12.24 (7th) and Kristyl Smith 2:13.22 (8th) &#8211; 200m Obstacle Swim<\/p>\n<p>Kristyl Smith, Pamela Hendry, Christina Ruiz, Miranda Bell 1:54.50, Australian record 1:39.18 (7th) 4&#215;50 Obstacle Relay<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Bowden, Ryan Napoleon, Shannon Eckstein, Tim Schofield (5th) 4x50m Obstacle Relay<\/p>\n<p>Naomi Flood 1:00.46 Australian record (3rd) Pamela Hendry 1:01.04 (5th) 100m Manikin Tow With Fins<\/p>\n<p>Christina Ruiz 1:14.29 (7th), Pamela Hendry 1:17.10 (8th) 100m Rescue Medley<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Napoleon 1:01.75 (4th) 100m Rescue Medley<\/p>\n<p>Christina Ruiz, Miranda Bell, Pamela Hendry, Kristyl Smith 1:28.22 (8th) 4x25m Manikin Relay<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Bowden, Ryan Napoleon, Tim Schofield, Shannon Eckstein 1:06.56 Australian record (2nd) 4x25m Manikin Relay<\/p>\n<p>It was great to see Australia&#8217;s Youth Team flying the flag at the pool.
