World Record: 3:37.43 – USA (2024) Commonwealth Record: 3:37.58 – Great Britain (2021) Games Record: 3:41.30 – Australia (2022) 2022 Champion – Australia, 3:41.30Top 8:
Australia (Anderson, Williamson, Temple, Harris) – 3:40.46 ***GAMES RECORD*** South Africa (Coetze, Houlie, Gallagher, Canny) – 3:42.61 ***AFRICAN RECORD*** Scotland (Ward, Evans, MacInnes, Scott) – 3:43.70 Canada (Masse, Dawson, Liendo, Jansen) – 3:44.23 England (Cox, Ramsay-Peaty, Mildred, Colbert) – 3:45.59 Northern Ireland (Cullen, Bradley, Hamilton, Davison) – 3:49.10 Jamaica (McKenzie, Campbell, Calderbank, Lyn) – 3:57.42 Isle of Man (Justice, Kinley, Allen, Watterson) – 4:03.32Australia roared to a new Games record of 3:40.46, but they did not have it all their own way with South Africa leading for nearly 300 meters thanks to Pieter Coetze‘s blistering leadoff leg.
South Africa held on for silver, while Duncan Scott did what Duncan Scott does and ran swimmers down on the anchor, catapulting Scotland into bronze. England, who were the favorite for silver, were never really in the race and finished a distant 5th.
Backstroke
Pieter Coetze decided that one Commonwealth Games record wasn’t enough for tonight, having lowered the 100 back mark by nearly a second with a 52.20 in the individual semi-finals, and shaved another two tenths of a second off to go 51.98 here.
That ties for the 17th-fastest swim in history, and is Coetze’s second-fastest swim ever behind the 51.85 he swam for gold at the World Championships last summer.
Matt Ward for Scotland and Jamaica’s Collin McKenzie were the only other male leadoffs. Ward swam 53.55 for his second-fastest swim ever, 0.04 seconds faster than he was individually earlier tonight, while McKenzie sliced 0.16 seconds off his previous best in 56.82.
Kylie Masse had the edge on Iona Anderson this time, after being relegated to silver in the individual 100 back behind the Australian. They were the only two female leadoffs under 1:00, with Lottie Cullen touching in 1:00.87 ahead of England’s Lauren Cox (1:00.99) and the Isle of Man’s Ella Justice (1:03.36), all three missing their lifetime bests.

Six out of eight nations went with a male breaststroker, with Sam Williamson backing up his 100 breast title with the fastest split in the field. He split 58.81, 0.36 seconds faster than the 59.17 he swam for gold.
Bronze medalist Adam Ramsay-Peaty split 59.33, slower than the 59.17 he swam in the semi-finals but faster than his 59.65 from the final. He went out hard in 26.82, but Williamson outsplit him by seven tenths of a second on the second 50.
Oliver Dawson and Michael Houlie were also under 1:00, with the South African continuing his trend from the individual event and going out in a rapid 26.12, before closing in 33.53 for a 59.65 split to keep South Africa in the lead by over six seconds. Adam Bradley clocked 1:01.18 for Northern Ireland and Kito Campbell was 1:03.10, over a second slower than he was in the individual semi-finals.
Angharad Evans split her third 1:04-point of the season with a 1:04.52, keeping Scotland ahead of Australia at the halfway point. Despite the prevailing wisdom on this relay being to swim a male breaststroker, Evans has been so good over the last 12 months that there was no debate about her inclusion here, and she delivered a key split towards Scotland’s eventual bronze medal.

Matt Temple got his revenge on Canada’s Josh Liendo on the fly leg, outsplitting the individual 100 fly champion by six tenths of a second. Temple’s split was his fastest ever, overtaking the 50.10 he swam at the 2023 World Championships, and makes him the #7 performer all-time.
Liendo, who beat Temple by 0.01 seconds individually, was 50.63 for Canada to miss his best-ever split from the 2025 World Championships by a second. He was two tenths slower than he was to win the individual final.
Ed Mildred recovered from a disappointing individual performance to split 51.09, two tenths faster than the 51.30 he clocked in the semi-final but just off his flat start best of 51.02. He moved England up from 6th to 4th on his leg.
Matt Hamilton, who has set a pair of Irish junior records in the 100 fly this week with swims of 52.75 and 52.62, was faster than both of those with a 52.42 to move Northern Ireland from 7th to 5th, with Peter Allen‘s 55.75 split just over half a second off his best of 55.08.
Erin Gallagher shot out to a 25.91 opening 50, and while she tightened up towards the end of her leg she kept South Africa in the front two in this race and was just 0.01 seconds slower than she was to win bronze individually.
Keanna MacInnes, who beat Gallagher for silver in the individual 100 fly, 57.33 to 57.39, was a little slower with a 57.60 but had to contend with the waves of Matt Temple on one side and Josh Liendo on the other. Jamaica’s Jessica Calderbank was nearly a second ahead of her semi-final time of 1:01.31 with a 1:00.57.

Only two teams put a man on the anchor leg, but for Scotland that paid off as Duncan Scott split 48.03, his slowest split of the meet so far, to bring them home for bronze. He had split 47.48 in the men’s 4×100 free and 47.66 in the mixed 4×100 free relays. The Isle of Man’s Joel Watterson split 51.57 as the other male anchor.
Meg Harris had another blistering split for Australia, a tenth slower than the 52.03 she split in the mixed free relay, as she takes over anchor duties from Mollie O’Callaghan. Aimee Canny was seven tenths of a second faster than her flat start best for South Africa in 53.58 as they held on for silver in a new African record.
Freya Colbert was four seconds off the lead when she dived in, and split a 54.18 for England that was three quarters of a second slower than the anchor leg of 53.41 she posted in the mixed free relay. Grace Davison had her fastest split of the meet for Northern Ireland in 54.63, but was two tenths slower than her Irish record of 54.45.
Ella Jansen split 54.84, under her flat start best of 55.27, while Sabrina Lyn was nearly a second faster than the 57.69 she clocked this morning for Jamaica with a 56.93.
