Scotland's Duncan Scott wins 200m freestyle Commonwealth gold ahead of England's Tom Dean

Britain celebrated a one-two in the 200-metre freestyle final at the 2022 Commonwealth Games on Saturday when Scotland's Duncan Scott took home the gold.

Last year's silver medallist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics traded places with England's Tom Dean, who this time settled for second. Australian Elijah Winnington rounded off the podium after placing third behind the border rivals.

The pair ran a close race throughout at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre, where it looked like the red cap of Dean would take victory. Scott is well-known for his strong finish, however, and thundered back in the last 50 metres to overtake his main competition.
