AUSTRALIA won six of the ten finals contested on this, the fifth day of competition at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England.  But one very famous Aussie was stymied in his bid to bewcome the first athlete to win seven gold medals at one Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p>Iam Thorpe had already won five golds, and his seventh event &#8212; the 4x100m medley relay, tomorrow night &#8212; will almost certainly yield gold for the Green and Gold.  So all Thorpe had to do to achieve his dream was to win the 100m backstroke today.  Standing in his way was teammate and 2001 world champion, Matt Welsh.<\/p>\n<p>There&#39;s a reason why Welsh won the world title last year, and he put it on display tonight, leading all the way to win impressively in a Games record 54.72.  It was never close.<\/p>\n<p>Thorpe came from behind in the final meters to nip Malaysia&#39;s (and the University of California&#39;s) Alex Lim for the silver, 55.38 to 55.44 &#8212; lifetime bests for both men, and a national record for Lim.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;That&#39;s my best time. That&#39;s a good result for me. I&#39;m more than happy to come second,&quot; Thorpe said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;There&#39;s no disappointment&#8230;I congratulated Matt. He&#39;s world champion, he&#39;s an excellent backstroker and a great swimmer.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>A relieved Welsh said: &quot;The hardest thing is trying to deprive him (Thorpe) of that gold medal. But he came to my party, it&#39;s been my speciality for a few years now. I love the 100 backstroke.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><b>Australia Dominates<\/b><br \/>\nAustralia won five other titles this evening, plus the men&#39;s 100 meter multidisability crown as well.<\/p>\n<p>World champion Geoff Huegill won the 100 meter fly in 52.36, equaling the Games mark he set yesterday in the semis.  This time, however, he had a bit of a tussel.<br \/>\nCanada&#39;s Mike Mintenko turned in 24.49 seconds &#8212; just 7-hundredths behind Huegill &#8212; and gave way on the second lap only grudgingly.  <\/p>\n<p>Mintenko earned the silver in 52.80 with Aussie (and University of Nebraska grad) Adam Pine third in 53.02.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, Leisel Jones gave Australia a win in the 100m breaststroke, though she swam a bit slower than in yesterday&#39;s semis.  Still, the 16 year-old&#39;s 1:08.74 was good enough for the gold.  Teammate Brooke Hanson, who turned in fourth place at the 50, finished second in 1:09.10.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa&#39;s Sarah Poewe foiled an Aussie sweep with her bronze medal swim of 1:09.29, as Aussie tarnee White placed fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Dyana Calub nabbed the fourth Australian gold medal of the evening, taking the 50m back in a Games record 28.98.  In a very close race, Canada&#39;s Jennifer Carroll, world short course champion, was second in 29.05, also under the old mark.<\/p>\n<p>England&#39;s Sarah Price grabbed the bronze in 29.08, just ahead of Giann Rooney (29.11) and Charlene Wittstock (29.18).<\/p>\n<p>Just moments later, Justin Norris won his third gold of these Games with a come-from-behind victory in the 200 IM.  Norris had previously won the 200 fly and 400 IM.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth at the 100, Norris moved up to second at the end of the breaststroke leg, then unleashed a 28.47 freestyle leg to overtake England&#39;s Adrian Turner, who led most of the way.  <\/p>\n<p>Norris finished in 2:01.32, well ahead of Turner&#39;s 2:02.10.  James Goddard, another Englishman, was third in 2:02.48.  Canada&#39;s Curetis Myden, a two-time Olympic bronze medalist, was sixth.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Winning the first two gold medals made me want to top it off, so I am really satisfied with myself,&quot; Norris said after winning the 200 IM.  <\/p>\n<p>Australia won its sixth gold of Day Five by neatly wrapping up the women&#39;s 4x100m free relay.  The team of Alice Mills, Jodie Henry, Petria Thomas and Sarah Ryan swam a Games record 3:40.41.  England was second<br \/>\n(3:41.470 and Canada third (3:45.33).<\/p>\n<p>To make this, the busiest evening of the Games that much sweeter, Aussie Ben Austin, who has no left arm, won his second multi-disability title in the 100 meter freestyle, breaking the S8 category world record in both the heats and final.<\/p>\n<p><b>England Swings<\/b><br \/>\nThough Australia has dominated in Manchester &#8212; the Green and Gold has won 21 of the 35 events contested thus far, with 7 to go &#8211;England continues to swim impressively.  This Midsummer eve, the home team managed to win three more golds, while Scotland earned another. <\/p>\n<p>England now has 10 golds here, twice its total from Kuala Lumpur four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>When England won tonight, it won BIG.  That&#39;s BIG as in SWEEP. Two of England&#39;s three golds were also one-two-three sweeps. <\/p>\n<p>James Gibson, disappointed with his bronze in the 100 meter breaststroke on Thursday, won the 50 tonight in 27.72, 15-hundredths off his Games record 27.57 set in semis.  The race was an All-English tea party, as Adam Whitehead, 100 meter winner, was second in 27.79 and Darren Mew a close third in 27.80.  The rest of the field wasw caugyht in a time warp, as South Africa&#39;s Brett Petersen was a very distant fourth (28.64).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I performed horribly in the 100 but I&#39;ve shown great resolve to win gold here tonight,&quot; Gibson said.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Price, the 100 backstroke champion, added the 200 backstroke gold to her collection, hitting the wall in a Games record 2:10.58 to win by more than a second from teammates Joanna Fargus and defending champion Katy Sexton.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m over the moon,&quot; Price said. &quot;I was so nervous because these girls are so tough. It&#39;s great we&#39;ve got the one-two-three.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Price, who split 1:02.86 at the 100, led all the way in a fast and closely-bunched field.  Fargus, second the entire distance, clocked 2:11.60 while Katy Sexton was third in 2:12.01.<\/p>\n<p>Sexton had to battle for her bronze, as she turned in sixth position with 50 meters to go.  Canada&#39;s Jennifer Fratesi was fourth (2:12.35), Zimbabwe&#39;s Kirsty Coventry, winner of the 200 IM, was fifth (2:12.47) and Australia&#39;s Clementine Stoney, third with just 25 meters to go, faded to sixth.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Cooke claimed her second gold for England in 24 hours when she won the 400 meter freestyle as emphatically as Friday&#39;s 800 freestyle, clocking 4:09.49 to win by nearly two seconds from Australia&#39;s Elka Graham.<\/p>\n<p>Alison Sheppard claimed Scotland&#39;s first Commonwealth swimming title since David Wilkie in 1974. when she won the 50m free &#8212; and she did it emphatically. <\/p>\n<p>Sheppard who set a Games record 24.68 in prelims &#8212; the fastest time in the world this year &#8212; then followed with a 24.79 in semis, won tonight in 24.76, easily disposing of Australian Jodsie Henry, tghe 100 meter champion by more than six-tenths of a second.,<\/p>\n<p>Sheppard, 30, trains in Canada under the direction of her husband.<\/p>\n<p> <b>              COMMONWEALTH GAMES<br \/>\n\t      Manchester Aquatics Centre<br \/>\n                 Manchester, England<br \/>\n              DAY FIVE: August 3, 2002<br \/>\n                   RESULTS: FINALS          <\/b>                          <\/p>\n<p>Men&#39;s 100m Butterfly<br \/>\nWR:  51.81    &#8211;
