Canada’s Joshua Liendo swims to 100m butterfly gold at Commonwealth Games
GLASGOW — Toronto’s Joshua Liendo defended his Commonwealth Games title in the men’s 100-metre butterfly on Sunday, winning gold in a meet record of 50.42 seconds.
Liendo edged Australians Matthew Temple (50.43) and Ben Armbruster (50.58) at Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
The 23-year-old repeated as Commonwealth champion after capturing gold in 2022 and later winning Olympic silver in the event at the 2024 Paris Games.
Liendo, a five-time world championship medallist, was also scheduled to race in the 50-metre freestyle final later Sunday. Five-time Olympic medallist Kylie Masse of LaSalle, Ont., was set to compete for gold in the women’s 100-metre backstroke.
