Great Britain also got a gold medal from\u00a0<strong>Bethany Firth\u00a0<\/strong>in the S14 100 back as she broke the championships record.

I knew I had to go out quick and stay ahead so that\u2019s what I tried to do. I died off a bit but I think that\u2019s to be expected as I\u2019ve had a pretty tough season. It\u2019s just under a year since I had surgery; I\u2019ve had multiple injuries and even five weeks ago I was in hospital not thinking I\u2019d be able to compete.

They\u2019re some of my best friends and I enjoy competing with them. I wanted to do the best I could. It\u2019s always a good race no matter who\u2019s in there.

It\u2019s a dream come true. One race, one final, one bronze! I&#8217;ve loved every minute here and this will give me a platform to move forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the S13 final, world record holder\u00a0<strong>Ihar Boki\u00a0<\/strong>won the final with a 57.73 to just miss his own record of 56.68 from the 2016 Paralympics. Boki was two seconds ahead of Canada&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Nicolas-Guy Turbide\u00a0<\/strong>(59.70) as they were the only two to break a minute.\u00a0<strong>Oleksii Virchenko\u00a0<\/strong>of the Ukraine finished in third at 1:00.83.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came here with one goal, to win my first world championship medal. Now, everything else the rest of the week is gravy,\u201d said Turbide, who trains at Club de Natation R\u00e9gion de Qu\u00e9bec with coach Marc-Andr\u00e9 Pelletier. \u201cI would have loved to set a personal best but I can\u2019t complain with 59.70. It was still a great swim, and I\u2019m especially pleased with my start and first 50, which was much better than this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In claiming silver, Turbide earned himself a nomination to the Canadian Paralympic Committee to represent Canada in Tokyo next summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis bodes well for Tokyo, for sure. All I can do is keep working as hard as I have. I can\u2019t control what other swimmers do. All I can control is my own preparation, and that\u2019s what I intend to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ukraine continued its strong night in the S11 100 back with the likes of\u00a0<strong>Viktor Smyrnov\u00a0<\/strong>(1:09.07) winning the gold ahead of\u00a0<strong>Rogier Dorsman\u00a0<\/strong>(1:09.64) of the Netherlands and\u00a0<strong>Mar Gunnarsson\u00a0<\/strong>(1:10.43) of Iceland.<\/p>\n<h3>Women&#8217;s 100 Back<\/h3>\n<p>New Zealand&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Sophie Pascoe\u00a0<\/strong>nearly broke her own world record in the S9 100 back final as she easily won the gold medal with a 1:07.49, just missing her own record of 1:07.41 that she set earlier this year. Regardless, Pascoe won handily over Australia&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Ellie Cole\u00a0<\/strong>(1:10.42) and USA&#8217;s <strong>Lizzie<\/strong><strong>\u00a0Smith <\/strong>(1:12.64).<\/p>\n<p>A jubilant Cole said a silver medal was a wonderful result and as good as gold to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just missed out on the podium yesterday, so to redeem myself is really wonderful. I actually saw the cute little bears when you medal so I\u2019m really excited to get one of those for my niece,\u201d Cole said moments after her achievement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very different approach to last night, I was so nervous last night I was shaking on the blocks, so tonight was just all about going out there and having fun, which is what I usually race like, so I felt like my old self. Every time I get out the water and have fun like that, I always know why I love to swim \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly why.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBackstroke hasn\u2019t been a main focus up until the last two weeks, and it was mostly to help the relay,&#8221; Smith said. &#8220;What happened out there is proof that you should swim hard, because you don\u2019t know what will happen. It\u2019s my first individual medal since 2013, so it feels good to be back at that place and see the training pay off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Great Britain&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Alice Tai\u00a0<\/strong>gave the British crowd something to cheer about as she swam a 1:08.04 in the S8 100 back to break her own world record that was a 1:08.09 from earlier this year. Tai finished eight full seconds ahead of silver medal winner\u00a0<strong>Tupou Neiufi\u00a0<\/strong>(1:16.37) of New Zealand and bronze medal winner\u00a0<strong>Megan Richter\u00a0<\/strong>(1:17.08) of Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Jessica Long\u00a0<\/strong>was fourth at 1:18.86.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A delighted Tai said of her performance:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI actually looked at my time when I turned. It\u2019s a bad habit of mine and I thought oh gosh I\u2019m going to really have to push it here to get this world record. I really wasn\u2019t expecting it and I\u2019m quite emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking about teammate Megan Richter\u2019s bronze medal, Tai continued:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m honestly so, so happy for Megan. I know she\u2019s had a really good year\u2019s training and I love the fact I can share the podium with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite winning bronze, the race itself had been stressful for Richter. She said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI ripped my race suit just before the start so I was worrying about that the whole time. The first 50 was good, but I hit the lane rope on the way back which wasn\u2019t great. I was hoping for a low 1:17 but I\u2019m happy with that and it makes all the hard work worthwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Its two \ud83e\udd47from two for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alice__tai?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@alice__tai<\/a> \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7and this time in WORLD RECORD style!
