Canada's Dorris speeds to gold, Routliffe adds bronze at Para swimming worlds

Canadians collected a medal of each colour at the Para swimming world championships on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Bennett added silver in the men's SM14 200m individual medley.

Dorris, the 19-year-old from Moncton, N.B., previously won silver in the 100m backstroke in Portugal, leaving her with the same gold-silver combination she took home from the Tokyo Paralympics.

She said Thursday's race also represented a season-best time.

"I'm feeling ecstatic right now. That's my first gold medal at a world championship meet. It's kinda surreal. Yes, I medalled yesterday but this is a gold medal — a little level up from that," Dorris said in an interview posted to the Canadian Paralympic Committee Twitter account.
