Aaron Peirsol and Leisel Jones set world records to win their second gold medals at the World Championships on Friday, while Michael Phelps collected his fourth courtesy of another American relay victory.
American Peirsol lowered his own 200 metres backstroke record to join Australians Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett as the only swimmers to win the same event at three World Championships.
Jones slashed 0.72 seconds off Amanda Beard's world record to win the 200m breaststroke final, giving the Australian a second gold after her win in the 100m earlier this week.
Australia's Olympic champion Jodie Henry also won her second title this week with victory in the 100m freestyle to confirm her status as the fastest woman in the world.
Brendan Hansen, Peirsol's training partner, completed the 100m-200m breaststroke double for the first time by winning the longer race to extend the US lead at the top of the medal standings.
Phelps put the icing on the cake when he teamed up with Ryan Lochte, Peter Vanderkaay and Klete Keller to win the 4x200m freestyle relay in a combined time of seven minutes 06.58 seconds to take the
gold ahead of Canada and Australia.
"This one is for Team USA," Phelps said.
"This one is the most pleasing of them all."
Peirsol led all the way to take the gold in 1:54.66, 0.08 under the
previous mark of 1:54.74 which he set at last year's US Olympic trials at Long Beach, California.
Markus Rogan of Austria finished second in 1:56.63 while American Ryan Lochte was third in 1:57.00 but
all the plaudits were with Peirsol.
The 22-year-old Californian won the 100m earlier in the week and is unbeaten over 200m in five years, racking up a host of world and Olympic titles in that time.
"I'm starting to feel pretty possessive (about the 200m)," Peirsol said. "I feel like I've got a good grip on it in the sense I know how I need to swim it feeling good, bad or in-between.
