Bronze for Shayna Jack while McEvoy scents Doha gold

Shayna Jack has been left celebrating her second individual world championship medal of a workaholic week, splashing to bronze in the blue riband 100m freestyle in Doha.

The resilient 25-year-old Australian, who's bounced back following her mental health struggles while battling to clear her name after testing positive for a banned substance, added the medal on Friday to the 50m free silver she won at Fukuoka last year.

But while the Brisbane swimmer couldn't cope with the blistering late surge of the new Dutch champion, Marrit Steenbergen, the Dolphins still look well set to grab their second gold of the meet when Cameron McEvoy, easily the fastest in qualifying, defends his 50m free title on Saturday.
