Swimming: Three-up Le Clos, Van der Burgh lead South Africa as upsets dominate


Le Clos' third gold of the meeting was followed by Cameron van der Burgh's upset of world record holder Adam Peaty in the men's 50 metres breaststroke and Tatjana Schoenmaker winning the 100m breaststroke. That was one of the best performances I've ever seen him do," Le Clos said. It was Bronte's first individual gold medal in her second Games. AUSTRALIAN SWEEPMitch Larkin had earlier pipped Le Clos to a sweep of individual titles when he won the men's 200m backstroke to again lead an Australian one-two-three finish. Australia's Matt Levy won the men's S7 50m freestyle, while New Zealand's Sophie Pascoe won her second gold of the Games when she won the women's SB9 100m breaststroke.
