Australia’s final medal tally from the World University Championships included four gold and one silver medal, with the earlier gold medal performances of Dani Samuels in the women’s discus and Madeline Pape in the women’s 800m. The result improved on Australia’s previous best performance of two gold and two silver medals at the 1991 and 2007 editions of the championships.
In other female results, Victorian Liam Adams finished 10th in a close 5000m final in 14:12.86 and West Australian’s Zoe Timmers and Ellen Pettitt finished 6th and 12th respectively in the women’s high jump.
