And champion and record holder is Ellie Cole. But Sophie Pascoe, bear in mind, she has been reclassified, northerning an S10 swimmer. S9 now. Her first S9 final! >> -- no longer an S10 swimmer. >> Underwater here from Pascoe that sees her coming out in second place behind Lizzie Smith who we expected to go out hard. The real question about Lizzie Smith is whether she has the legs to bring it home over 100. Aspden is just behind Pascoe, looking to get into her stroke. >> Sophie Pascoe got silver medal in her off event, so she is swimming well. Sophie Pascoe, she's a very experienced swimmer. She knows how to swim the 100m backstroke and potentially hold off the charnel from Hannah Aspden, which we know is coming at the end. >> Indeed. Many might remember her incredible finish in Beijing, a dead heat. Pascoe is off the pace here, as Aspden is making good ground. Pascoe just falling behind the pace a little. Aspden is making a real push through the water here. Pascoe is fading. A Aspden comes home. She has the opportunity to glide home as well, as she touches ahead of Marques Soto who takes silver and Pascoe has the bronze. A phenomenon qualm 17th medal for Sophie Pascoe.

Sophie Pascoe of New Zealand, in her first international competition since the 2019 world champs, owing to Covid-19 and lockdown. >> You see Sophie Pascoe, she had the better start here, she's able to more effectively use her under water and she was ahead of of both Aspden and Marques Soto at the turn. She used the turn a bit better, but it was the second 50 where Aspden really showed how much she wanted this race. Aspden finished way better than Sophie Pascoe. Sophie Pascoe, for someone who was so experienced, she faded fast in this race and Marques Soto blew right past her. Both of them had phenomenal finishes. In the end Marques Soto, the three-time European champion does enough to claim the second, but no-one beating the 29-year-old from the United States. Hannah Aspden is
