'I never thought I'd win all three events, especially for a second year in a row! It was a tough challenge, against very strong competitors,' said Shaw.
'[Winning those events] really helped me a lot! It showed me that I have what it takes to beat my opponents. I did hope to win a medal in today's finals, but I really didn't expect to win gold because the level of competition was so high,' he said.
The championships are being held at the Kinsmen Sports Centre and wrap up Sunday afternoon.
