Commonwealth 50 Back Record<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia\u2019s Tokyo Olympic rookie\u00a0<strong>Isaac Cooper<\/strong> came into the heats of the 50m backstroke at the <strong>World Short-Course Championships<\/strong> with an entry time of 23.31 with eight swimmers ahead of him on the psyche sheets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But after the six heats the 18-year-old originally from Bundaberg in North Queensland had rocketed into finals contention, clocking a new Oceania and Australian record of 22.79 to qualify for the semi-finals as the second-fastest qualifier behind Poland\u2019s <strong>Kacper\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Stokowski.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a

rel=\"noopener\">Day 3 Results<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exhausted from a full book of individual and relay races Cooper, now training under 2008 Olympic backstroker\u00a0<strong>Ashley Delaney<\/strong>\u00a0on Queensland\u2019s Sunshine Coast, Cooper surprised even himself when he not only topped the qualifiers for the final but set another Oceania, Australian, Commonwealth and World Junior Record time of 22.52.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A time just 0.30 seconds outside legendary Frenchman <strong>Florent Manaudou\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a02014 world record of 22.22.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All he has to do now is keep US Olympic backstroking golden boy and 100m winner here\u00a0<strong>Ryan Murphy<\/strong>\u00a0and the rest of the field at bay and he could well cause one of the big upsets of the meet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to be outdone Cooper later in the night led off Australia\u2019s gold medal-winning 4x50m freestyle relay team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murphy and Stokowski are the equal second-fastest qualifiers in 22.74, followed by <strong>Pieter Coetze<\/strong>\u00a0(RSA) 22.86,\u00a0<strong>Dylan Carter<\/strong>\u00a0(Trinidad And Tobago) and\u00a0<strong>Lorenzo Mora<\/strong>\u00a0(ITA) both on 22.90,\u00a0<strong>Marek Ulrich<\/strong>\u00a0(GER) 23.03, while the eighth place won\u2019t be decided until tomorrow morning with a swim off between\u00a0<strong>Hunter Armstrong<\/strong>\u00a0(USA)
