Bronte Campbell and Melanie Schlanger cheer on the way to winning the gold medal in the Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Final in a world record time.
Australia set a new women's 4x100m freestyle relay world record of 3min 30:98sec as they retained their Commonwealth Games title in Glasgow on Thursday.
Having already broken the Commonwealth Games record in the heats, the addition of 100m freestyle world champion Cate Campbell to the final team proved the difference as they shaved more than seven tenths of a second off the previous record held by the Netherlands.
