GAMES:McEvoy saving best for Comm Games after trials win

Australia's Cameron McEvoy is wrestling with his status as the world's fastest swimmer, confident his best is yet to come ahead of this year's Commonwealth Games.

McEvoy punched his ticket to Glasgow by taking out Wednesday's 50m freestyle final in 21.32 seconds at Australia's swim trials in Sydney.

The time falls short of the 32-year-old's 50m freestyle world record of 20.88 seconds - a benchmark he had set in March at the China Open.

Jamie Jack - younger brother of two-time Olympic gold medallist Shayna - trailed by 0.22 seconds to finish runner-up and make his first Commonwealth Games squad.

McEvoy was simple in his assessment of Wednesday's final.

"Ah, not too bad. I wanted it a little bit faster, personally, but again, Commonwealth Games is the plan for peaking," McEvoy said.
