Bronte won ahead of silver medallist Cate in an upset result, with Canada's Taylor Ruck third.

Another Australian, Shayna Jack, finished fourth.

Bronte, who has spent even longer in the shadow of her acclaimed sibling Cate, was shocked to claim gold.

"That was incredibly surprising," she told the Seven Network.

"I don't know how that happened but I am glad it did."

LARKIN MAKES HISTORY IN 200M BACKSTROKE

Mitch Larkin has created history as the first swimmer to win all three backstroke finals at a single Commonwealth Games.

Larkin was near speechless after adding the 200m backstroke title on Monday night to his earlier triumphs in the 50m and 100m events.

His latest gold of the Gold Coast Games came in an Australian medal sweep - teammate Brad Woodward collected silver and Josh Beaver took the bronze.

Larkin trailed countryman Woodward at the final turn but powered to the wall to win by 0.47 seconds to secure a third gold of the Games.

"It's unbelievable," he told the Seven Network. "Words can't describe it."

"You train so hard, you put so much into it - the medals represent so much more, a lot of hard work in the pool."

Larkin, the 24-year-old partner of swim teammate Emily Seebohm, now has four gold and three silver medals in his Commonwealth Games career.
