REVEALED: Williamson annexes dolphins first world swimming gold | Rare Historical Photos

Sam Williamson has roared to Australia's first swimming gold in the pool in Doha, clocking the fourth fastest time in history as he annexed the 50 metres breaststroke crown.

On their best night yet in Doha, Williamson's blistering triumph capped a four-medal haul for the Dolphins on Wednesday with Elijah Winnington capturing an unexpected second silver of the championships in the 800m freestyle .

Brianna Throssell then earned the solo medal which will have delighted the stalwart's teammates - finally, a thoroughly deserved individual bronze in the 200m freestyle after 13 times previously having been on the podium in relay quartets.
