Having watched his teammate Ellie Salthouse win silver in the women’s individual triathlon in the first event of the Games, Michael Gosman will kick-start day 2 in the men’s event. 

Gosman goes into tomorrow’s race a serious medal contender. 

“He’s looking really good,” coach Craig Redman said. “He has a similar ability to Ellie. Rides okay, runs very well and the swim is his weaker leg. We just have to make sure he stays in the race. I’m pretty confident that if he gets off the bike at the right end of the field, just like Ellie, he’ll be in the hunt.” 

Australian swimmers are fronting up for their second big day in the pool.

Kenneth To will look to continue his strong form, with the men’s 200m IM, followed by Emma McKeon in the women’s 100m. This will be McKeon’s first individual event in Singapore and she will be looking for a quick time.

To will be joined by Justin James in the men’s 100m butterfly – with both athletes looking for quick times to progress to the next session. James had a tough first day, narrowly missing a spot in the 400m freestyle semi finals.

Zoe Johnson will take to the water for her first individual event at the Games in  the women’s 200m butterfly, followed by another James effort in the 200m freestyle.
