Jamaica's Alia Atkinson has made history by becoming the first black woman to win a world swimming title.
The 25-year-old equalled Ruta Meilutyte's 100m breaststroke record at the FINA World Championships in Doha, Qatar last week to win gold in 1:2.36.
"Hopefully there will be more popularity, especially in Jamaica and the Caribbean and we'll see more of a rise and hopefully in the future we will see a push," BBC Sport quotes Atkinson as saying.
Atkinson's gold is the first ever for Jamaica at the world short-course competition.
