Bethany Firth won Northern Ireland’s first Commonwealth gold in the pool – and the nation’s first at Birmingham 2022 – after Scotland’s Duncan Scott also claimed victory.
Six-time Paralympic champion Firth added Commonwealth gold to her collection as she won the 200m freestyle S14.
Earlier, Scott beat English rival Tom Dean to 200m individual medley gold.
Scott, 25, is Scotland’s most decorated Commonwealth athlete with 12 medals.
Scott finished in a Games-record one minute 56.88 seconds, with Dean – also beaten to 200m freestyle gold – 0.13secs behind.
Firth, 26, took her victory in two minutes 7.02 seconds as England’s Jessica-Jane Applegate claimed silver and Louise Fiddes bronze.
Having never claimed a Commonwealth swimming medal before, Northern Ireland have enjoyed unprecedented success in Birmingham.
Barry McClements won the nation’s first Commonwealth medal in the pool as he took 100m backstroke S9 bronze on Friday.
