Pieter Coetze rounded off his Games with an eighth Commonwealth Games record, posting the second-fastest swim in history in the 100 back. He was out two tenths slower than he had been in the individual final, 24.87 compared to 24.68, but closed a quarter of a second faster to come within 0.11 seconds of Thomas Ceccon‘s world record. He becomes the first swimmer in history with five sub-52 seconds swims, overtaking Ryan Murphy and Ceccon on four.
Ollie Morgan added half a second from the 52.66 he swam for silver in the individual event at the start of the session, fading a little with a 27.63 second 50. He held on to touch second after Coetze, four tenths ahead of Australia’s Henry Allan who was ever so slightly slower than the 53.51 he swam for 5th in the individual event.
Matt Ward clocked 53.73 for Scotland, just off the 53.55 he led off the mixed medley relay in last night and just under half a second off his Scottish record of 53.29.
Benjamin Winterborn had his fastest swim of the meet with a 55.13 for Canada, under the 55.47 he swam in the 100 back heats and the 55.39 he swam in the semi-finals. Patrick Johnston was a quarter of a second slower than he was individually with a 55.67, while Jack Knight sliced four tenths off his individual semi-final swim for Wales with a 56.01, albeit half a second off his best of 55.51.
Oliver Durand set the Namibian record with a 57.64 leadoff in the heats, and hacked nearly a second off with a 56.87 tonight, the third of four Namibian records today with both relay swims also lowering the national standard.

Sam Williamson had the fastest split in the field for the second night in a row, running down Adam Ramsay-Peaty on the second 50 to clock 58.40. That was four tenths of a second faster than the 58.81 he posted last night, and was his fastest split ever as he rounded off a great meet with a fourth gold medal.
Ramsay-Peaty had possibly his best swim of the meet in 58.74, six tenths of a second faster than the 59.33 he swam on England’s mixed medley relay. He was out in 26.76, but held on better than he did last night with a 31.98 second 50 compared to 32.51.
Michael Houlie was out fast on the first 50, as is his wont, splitting 26.24 at halfway to lead by two seconds. He faded down the second 50 to split 59.41 with a 33.17 on the back half, but this was both his fastest split of the meet and his strongest second 50 out of any of his 100 breast swims.
Oliver Dawson was the final man under 60 seconds, splitting 59.86 to miss his 59.45 split from the mixed medley last night and the 59.70 he clocked for 4th individually.
Archie Goodburn had Scotland’s fastest male breaststroke split of the week with a 1:00.25, half a second under his season best of 1:00.71, with Northern Ireland’s Adam Bradley also under 1:01 with a 1:00.80. Welsh 19-year-old Josh Inglis was half a second off his semi-final time with a 1:01.92.
Ronan Wantenaar was a couple of seconds off his best to split 1:02.38 for Namibia, slower than the 1:01.43 he split in the heats. The third-fastest split in the day came in prelims from Jersey’s Filip Nowacki. He clocked 58.85 as they missed the final by less than a second.

Matt Temple had the fastest fly split of the night again after splitting 50.05 on the mixed medley yesterday, although the gap was far narrower here. He split 50.18, slightly slower on both 50s (23.06/27.12 vs 22.99/27.06) but still his third-fastest split ever, and 0.01 seconds ahead of Canada’s Josh Liendo.
Temple overtook South Africa’s Chad le Clos on the second 50, with the newly-minted most successful athlete in Commonwealth Games history splitting 51.27, keeping South Africa in 2nd. Ed Mildred kept the gap close with a 51.04 for England, his fastest ever relay split and just 0.02 seconds off his lifetime best, but a quarter of a second faster than he clocked individually in Glasgow.
Liendo split 50.19 for Canada, half a second off his best-ever split of 49.64 from the World Championships last summer but enough to move Canada above Scotland for 4th. Dean Fearn split 52.31 for the Scots, faster than his 52.64 individually and just ahead of his 52.33 from the World Junior Championships last summer.
Matt Hamilton (52.45) got the better of Welsh record holder Lewis Fraser, who added six tenths to his 52.08 from the individual semi-finals with a 52.67. Namibia’s Jose Canjulo was three tenths slower than this morning in 55.55.

Flynn Southam had another exceptional swim on the anchor tonight, looking imperious as he pulled away from England and South Africa with a 22.15 opening 50 before blowing them away with a 24.40 on the final 50.
His split of 46.55 ranks as the 11th-fastest performance in history and is Australia’s 18th relay split under that barrier, two more than the U.S. has in second.
Men’s 100 Free Split, All-Time Top 11 Performances
Pan Zhanle (CHN), 2024 Olympic Games- 45.92 Jack Alexy (USA), 2025 World Championships – 45.95 Jason Lezak (USA), 2008 Olympic Games – 46.06 Duncan Scott (GBR), 2019 World Championships – 46.14 Cesar Cielo (BRA), 2009 World Championships – 46.22 Alain Bernard (FRA), 2009 World Championships – 46.26 Egor Kornev (RUS), 2025 World Championships – 46.40 Kyle Chalmers (AUS), 2020(1) Olympic Games – 46.44 Alain Bernard (FRA), 2009 World Championships – 46.46 Kyle Chalmers (AUS), 2025 World Championships – 46.53 Flynn Southam (AUS), 2026 Commonwealth Games – 46.55England’s Jacob Mills was the only other man under 48 seconds with a 47.70 for England, getting out to a rapid 22.36 opening 50 and holding off South Africa with a 25.34 second 50. He was three tenths faster than the 48.02 leadoff he clocked on the men’s 4×100 free relay.
Wales’ Harry Milne, just 18 years old, was over a second under his flat start best of 49.42 with a 48.32 tonight. That was the third-fastest split in the field as he ably deputized for Matt Richards, and follows on from a 48.60 split at European Juniors earlier this month. He has dropped his 100 free from 49.73 to 49.42 this summer, and could add yet more depth to Great Britain’s 100 free ranks in the next couple of years.
Canada’s Antoine Sauve and Scotland’s Duncan Scott both split 48.38, the fastest split of the meet for Sauve and the slowest of the meet for Scott. The latter was 47.48 on the men’s 4×100 free relay on day 1, but has been trending slower with subsequent splits of 47.66, 48.03, and now 48.38. He missed the 200 free final tonight after placing 10th in prelims, despite coming in as the defending champion.
Sauve was DQed in the individual event, and split just under the 48.55 he split in the men’s 4×100 free relay on day 1. Jack McMillan was 48.66 for Northern Ireland, half a second under his 49.13 from the individual semi-finals, with Namibia’s Luke Beukes breaking 50 seconds with a 49.78 as Namibia came in 0.03 seconds under the national record of 3:44.61 they established in the heats with a 3:44.58.
South Africa’s Ruard van Renen, who won 100 back bronze at the start of the session, was just four tenths of a second off his split of 48.34 from the men’s 4×100 free relay, but was the second-slowest in the field tonight. He was out in 23.09 before fading with a 25.65 second 50 for a 48.74 split, being overtaken by England’s Jacob Mills but still holding on for a new South African record of 3:31.13.
