Less than two days after snaring Australia's opening gold medal at World Aquatic Championships in Singapore, distance swimmer Moesha Johnson has done it again. Johnson 27, was in shock after adding the 5km to the 10km title she won on Monday with a chance to add a third in the mixed-team relay event at the weekend. Swimming in 30C water that was likened to 'human soup', Johnson delivered a second remarkable performance, defying her sore body to capture a memorable double. 'A little bit of shock,' an exhausted Johnson said after the race. 'That was harder than I expected. The body's not feeling too crash hot.

Johnson, who prepped for the race by listening to Australian music including Jimmy Barnes front and centre, led throughout the race to claim a narrow victory.

Aussie ocean swimmer shocked at worlds double gold
Australia's Moesha Johnson is shocked but stoked at winning the 5km ocean race for a golden double at the world championships. Johnson triumphed in Friday's 5km race in Singapore by just one second, after winning the 10km gold on Wednesday. "A little bit of shock," Johnson said at her feat. Johnson, who won Olympic 10km silver last year, pipped Italian Ginevra Taddeucci in a sprint finish. Taddeucci shaded Johnson until the Australian produced a final surge to touch just one second ahead of her rival. The Italian also took silver in the 10km behind the Tweeds Head powerhouse. "That was harder than I expected, the body is not feeling too crash hot," Johnson said. "I could not hold a line … I was like: Where am I?" Her 10km win came amid postponements due to poor water quality on a draining day for Johnson. But instead of savouring that gold, or resting up for the shorter race, Johnson returned to the training venue on Thursday, a nominal day off. "To come away with two world titles in two-plus days, in 30 degrees plus water, you can't ask for much more than that," she said. "And I am so proud for our sport and I am stoked for my country. "We're top of the medal table and we've never had back-to-back golds, I am just so proud of what we have all achieved." She won the 5km title in one hour two minutes 1.30 seconds while Japan's Ichika Kajimoto (1:02:28.90) claimed the bronze medal. Johnson, who also finished sixth in the 1500m freestyle at last year's Paris Olympics, collected Australia's third medal of the world titles, with Kyle Lee winning bronze in Wednesday's men's 10km race. Within minutes of crossing the finish line, Johnson was giving tips about the course to Lee and fellow Australian Thomas Raymond for the men's 5km race. Lee finished seventh and rookie Raymond came 10th, while Johnson's act earnt praise from Australia's ocean swim head coach, Brazilian-born Fernando Possenti. "Moesha, still with timing chips on, wanting to tell the boys about the course … this is a team that carries their country inside their heart," he said. "We have two days to go and now we reset … and go again for the 3km knockout sprint tomorrow." Johnson will chase a third gold medal in the last ocean event, the mixed 4x1500 freestyle, on Saturday. World championship competition at the pool starts on July 27.
