Emma McKeon clinch her record-breaking 11th Commonwealth Games gold medal in the women's 50m freestyle.

Australian swimmer Emma McKeon swam from greatness to legend in Birmingham to clinch her 11th Commonwealth Games gold medal.

She now has the most gold medals out of any Commonwealth Games athlete, overtaking long-time legends of the sport including Leisel Jones and Ian Thorpe.

It was a clean sweep for Australia in the event, with Meg Harris winning silver and Shayna Jack defying a serious hand injury she sustained at June's world championships to claim bronze.

McKeon has featured in three of the golds, two relays (4x100-meter freestyle relays and 4x100-meter mixed relays) and her 50m freestyle triumph.

After the midway point of the Birmingham meet, Australia's swim team have 11 golds, nine silver and 12 bronze.
