Daniel Tranter has suggested that it was the strength of his breaststroke which allowed him to storm home in the 200m individual medley on Tuesday night.
The Australian was in sixth position midway through the race before taking control in the third length, and he admits that it was important not to become distracted by his rivals.
"The breaststroke leg's always been a strong point of my medley," Tranter told Australia's Grandstand. "I've always had quite a natural and powerful breaststroke stroke, even under fatigue like you find in a 200 medley.
"It's hard enough to come to a Commonwealth Games final with the crowd and all the atmosphere and deal with your own swim, let alone the swims of two or three other people around you.
"I was just focused on what was going in lane four."
Scotland's Daniel Wallace collected his second medal of the Games with a second-place finish behind Tranter.
