Lauren Boyle has won her second medal at the Pan Pacific Swimming Champs on the Gold Coast.

Boyle claimed the bronze medal in the women's 400 metre freestyle, which was won by American Katie Ledecky in a new world record time.

Boyle said she was hoping for a better placing but got off to a poor start.

"I wanted to try and go out fast again, but I didn't acutally do that, so I had to have a strong back end to make up for that."

Meanwhile, Corey Main finished seventh in the 200 metre backstroke final.

Michael Phelps won his first international event since ending his 18-month hiatus, claiming the men's 100 metre butterfly title.
