Mollie O'Callaghan has set a world record in the women's 200-metre freestyle, pipping Ariarne Titmus to the gold medal at the World Aquatics Championships.
Titmus led for the majority of the race, but was overrun by an incredible final lap from the 19-year-old, who is also coached by Dean Boxall.
O'Callaghan's time of 1:52.85 set a new world record for the event, breaking the previous best set by Federica Pellegrini in 2009.
Titmus finished second with a time of 1:53.01, while Canadian young gun Summer McIntosh came in third with 1:53.65.
