The Australian quartet of Emma McKeon, Brianna Throssell, Leah Neale and Ariarne Titmus triumphed tonight ahead of silver medallist Canada and bronze medallist England.

Australia has claimed all three freestyle relays at the Gold Coast Games so far, with the women’s 4x100m win in a world record time on Thursday night followed by the men’s success in the 4x100 on Friday night.
