Australian swimmer and 100m freestyle champion James Magnussen added the Commonwealth Games title to his collection by edging out fellow Australian Cameron McEvoy in a time of 48:11sec.
McEvoy had beaten Magnussen at the Australian trials in April, but made amends despite having to come from behind after a sluggish first 50 metres.
