Italy's Thomas Ceccon won the men's
100 metres medley at the short-course swimming world
championships in Melbourne on Friday, beating off competition
from Canadians Javier Acevedo and Finlay Knox with a time of
50.97 seconds.
It is his second gold of the games after he helped the men's

Italy's third following Gregorio Paltrinieri's triumph in the
1,500m freestyle.
Among other things Ceccon, 21, is also world record holder and
world champion in the long-course 100 metre backstroke.
