GAMES:O'Callaghan, Pallister headline Comm Games swim team

Facing a changing of the guard, freestyle stars Mollie O'Callaghan and Lani Pallister will lead Australia's all-conquering squad in search of more Commonwealth Games gold.

A 42-strong team was named on Saturday night at the end of the six-day trials in Sydney, with 14 swimmers to make their senior team debut in Glasgow next month.

O'Callaghan and Pallister are primed to build on Australia's winning ways, with fellow Paris Olympic gold medallists Meg Harris and Shayna Jack completing the freestyle relay team.

Australia claimed 25 gold medals out of a possible 52 at the 2022 Birmingham Games, with the nation's women freestylers claiming victory in all but one of the 15 races.

The Dolphins also clinched 21 silver and 19 bronze medals, while runners-up England managed just eight golds out of a total of 32 medals.
