400m Freestyle: First-night 800m winner Sarah-Jane D'Arcy led an Australian sweep, finishing just ahead of Elka Graham in a race in which the two swapped the lead several times. D'Arcy, in reference to last night's win, said: "I thought I'd be a bit tired but I was OK." D'Arcy touched in 4:08.90 and Graham 4:09.17. Amanda Pascoe filled third spot in 4:10.86 after moving into the position at the 250m mark.

100m Butterfly: China's Li Jin pushed harder off the wall at the 75m mark to surge ahead of Australia's Julia Ham with Nicole Hunter (AUS) claiming the bronze. Li's time was faster than that set at Shanghai last week and at 1:00.45 was well behind Jenny Thompson's world record of 56.56. Ham hit the wall in 1:00.52 and Hunter 1:01.30.

200m Breaststroke: China's Lou Xuejuan wrapped up the 200m breaststroke in the respectable time of 2:23.51, which was a second faster than she achieved in the Shanghai meet. Lou was close to world record pace after the 50m and even closer (.05) at 100m but then drifted to 1:14 behind at the 150m and finished 3.29 behind Japanese Masami Tanaka's record set last year. Australian Kelli Waite (2:25.10) slipped in ahead of the favoured Brooke Hanson (2:25.33) with a withering burst down the final lap, making up well over a body length. High hopes were held for Lou to break the world record as her 100m time of the night before was the third fastest in history.

50m Freestyle: Rebecca Creedy (AUS) upset the fastest qualifiers, winning from lane one in 25.53. She went .01 faster than she did at the national short course championships in October and leaves her in 10th place in the world rankings. Olympian Giaan Rooney (AUS) finished in 25.80 and Michelle Engelsman (AUS) was third in 25.89.

100m Individual Medley: The United States' Amy Balcerzak, who finished second in the 100m breaststroke on night one, cleaned out the short medley in 1:02.09, barely ahead of Australian Lori Munz (1:02.25) and Brooke Hanson (1:02.73), who finished third in the 200m breaststroke just 10 minutes beforehand. Balcerzak moved into sixth place in the world rankings and was faster than the time set in Shanghai but behind several times set in Edmonton.

100m Backstroke: Eighteen-year-old Giaan Rooney (AUS) gained a gold medal after finishing second in the 100m freestyle on the first night. She led throughout and finished in 1:00.58, well ahead of Kelly Tucker (1:01.94) and Kellie McMillan (1:02.02), both from Australia. The time was nearly two seconds outside the championship record set by Barbara Bedford (USA) early this year.
