00:00One, two, three fastest qualifiers, in three it's Perkins, four it's Meg Harris and five it's Shana Jack and I
00:06really am struggling to see past those three for the medals. Can you see anybody who might break it up
00:12a little bit?
00:13Well we do have the young Welsh swimmer Theodora Taylor, she'll be going in lane seven, she's a phenomenal talent
00:20coming through at the minute and just don't quite know with that young inexperienced racer, she will be racing her
00:27heart out and she could be one that could spoil the party for the Australians.
00:33Well Taylor third from the left, sort of in the middle of the screen there, can't know what's going on
00:38there but with that big red coat on, she looks like she's in the zone already, the Aussies will, they'll
00:43be right at the back, they'll come out slowest to fastest, and Darcy Rebitt will be first out in her
00:51senior international debut, and that's great fun isn't it, and who is that, is that Team Scotland?
01:00All in their kilts, wonderful stuff.
01:07Let's make some noise tall crafts for the swimmers in the women's 50m freestyle final.
01:16In eight, representing England, Darcy Rebitt.
01:21So here are the athletes coming out for the final of the women's 50m freestyle, Darcy Rebitt is the first
01:26out for England, she's eight fastest into this final, did really well to make the final.
01:30She almost found the Australian's 50m freestyle.
01:31Her international debut in lane seven, representing Wales.
01:35Theodora Taylor.
01:36Theodora Taylor of Wales śm haber danger.
01:38She is in the red top.
01:41Chelsea Edwards, who's just came out, the many New Zealand national champion usedً
01:45Thanks to Chelsea Edwards Display, who's just came out,, the New Zealand national
01:54champion.
01:55And another South African, 8th on the 100 freestyle, this is Caitlin DeLang.
01:59In lane three, representing Australia, Alex Perkins.
02:03Now the three, because he's in three, it's Alex Perkins.
02:05She's won three golds already, including the 50 fly and the 100 fly.
02:10This is the 53.
02:12And Shayna Jack in her last international competition.
02:16Could she win gold here? She's certainly capable.
02:19She's got two golds in her bronze.
02:22That is Jagger. Now this is the fastest seed.
02:25It is Meg Harris.
02:26She is the Olympic silver medalist on this 50 metres freestyle.
02:30The world champion, four times gold medalist here already.
02:33And she could win six gold medals at these championships.
02:37She's got four already. She could win gold here.
02:39That would be five.
02:40And certainly could win gold on that final race of the night.
02:43The women's 4x100 heavy relay.
02:46That would tie her as the most successful Commonwealth athlete in history
02:50in terms of gold medals with six golds. Wow.
02:54That is very impressive.
02:55And the Australians have been very dominant, especially in the freestyle races.
02:59With the 50, it can go anywhere, really.
03:03But it is going to be difficult to see past the Australians for that one, two, three.
03:08It is the women's 50 metres freestyle final here in Scotland.
03:13Glasgow 26. Are we going to see another Aussie one, two, three?
03:17We've had four so far. Perkins, Harris and Jack in three, four and five.
03:24Women's 50 metres freestyle final right at the centre.
03:27It is the world champion Meg Harris.
03:29And she's had an OK start.
03:31Slightly better as Perkins in three.
03:33So it's Perkins in three.
03:34Harris in four.
03:35Jack in five.
03:36And these three yellow hats totally dominating the sprint freestyle event.
03:39Starting to come through in the middle is Meg Harris.
03:42But still going well as Jack crosses to it.
03:44Now she comes through.
03:45Meg Harris.
03:46Oh, wonderful.
03:47The world champion is now the Commonwealth champion of the women's 50 metres freestyle.
03:51And that was very impressive indeed.
03:53She just wound it up.
03:54She built into it.
03:56She got comfortable to the 50 and then just stuck her head down and just motored through to gold.
04:01Meg Harris wins the 50 metres freestyle gold medal at the Commonwealth Games here in Glasgow 2026.
04:06The silver medal has gone to Alex Perkins and Shayna Jack for Brons.
04:10And that is the fifth one, two, three for Australia we've seen at these games.
04:14Of the start it was Alex Perkins who had the best breakout and the advantage.
04:20But Meg Harris as we saw in the semi-finals she just built into that power.
04:25Not rushing that stroke.
04:27Every stroke time to perfection to get that win.
04:31But Shayna Jack, I think that was potentially her last ever Commonwealth Games swim.
04:36She has made the announcement that she was going to not retire yet,
04:41but that was her last ever, this is her last ever Commonwealth Games.
04:46So there we go.
04:47Confirmation of the result of the women's 50 metres freestyle.
04:49Meg Harris wins gold for Australia and completes that sweep of Perkins the silver and Shayna Jack the bronze.
04:56Aussie one, two, three.
05:00Take care.
05:01Take care.
05:06And getosy.
05:07So last night verify the fene to the strokea PowerShe.
