Clean sweep for Oz in SB8 100m

Australia have taken all three podium places in the men's SB8 100m event at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

The host nation's remarkable form in the pool continued as Timothy Disken - already a champion from the S9 100m freestyle yesterday - claimed gold with a time of 1:12.42.

Teammate Timothy Hodge was next to finish, swimming a new PB of 1:15.80 to take the silver, followed soon after by Blake Cochrane to complete another Aussie 1-2-3 at the Optus Aquatics Centre.

Team England had one competitor in the race - 17-year-old Jacob Leach - who finished a respectable fifth place with a time of 1:25.35.

Leach now goes on to compete in the S9 100m backstroke event on Tuesday.
