The win in the showpiece 4x100m medley finale also gave teammate Emily Seebohm her eighth medal in a week that saw Australia tighten its stranglehold of the competition. Coutts was the new star to emerge from six days of swimming, with her golds in the 100m freestyle, 100m butterfly, 200m individual medley and two relay events all the more surprising as she was a virtual unknown before the Games. "I think I did pretty well but coming here tonight on the bus I felt like dozing off," the 23-year-old said of her achievement. Only four other athletes have won more golds in a single Games: Australia swimmers Graham Smith in 1978, Susie O'Neill in 1998 and Ian Thorpe in 2002 and Canada's rhythmic gymnast Alexandra Orlando in 2006 all won six. Appropriately, Jones -- who successfully defended her 100m and 200m breaststroke crown for the third successive Games -- gave Coutts the perfect stage for a two-lap victory swim after a blistering leg. Jones' achievement equals the most number of golds by an individual in the Games and puts her alongside Australia swimming legends O'Neill and Thorpe. "It is very special," she said. "Susie was here and saw the race and she was very gracious." The 25-year-old had been looking to extend her unbeaten record in New Delhi but was unable to retain the 50m breaststroke title she won in her home city of Melbourne four years ago and took silver. Backstroke specialist Emily Seebohm equalled the record of winning eight medals in total in a single Games, a feat only achieved by Australia's Ralph Hutton in 1966 and O'Neill in 1998. "I hope they let me on the plane with 40 kilos," she joked. In other events, Australia's men extended their unbeaten record in the 4x100m medley, after the 100m butterfly champion Geoff Huegill powered the team into pole position. The gold was Huegill's second of the week. He retired in 2004 and ballooned in weight but has made a remarkable comeback after losing 45kg to make the team. "It's been awesome," said the popular 31-year-old veteran. "I couldn't have asked for a better way to cut off this meet. To swim with three of the best swimmers in the world is a dream come true." Australia won two of the other seven finals on Saturday: double world champion Jessica Schipper retained her 200m butterfly title while Brenton Rickard won the men's 200m breaststroke. Canada's Brent Hayden made the sprint double after taking the 50m freestyle crown to add to his 100m gold while Ryan Cochran swam to victory from the front in the 1,500m freestyle. He won the 400m freestyle earlier this week. Hannah Miley became Scotland's first female swimmer to win gold after taking the women's 400m individual medley title. It was the second gold for the next hosts of the Games in 2014 after Robbie Renwick won the 200m freestyle. European champion Miley, 21, choked back tears as the strains of "Flower of Scotland" blasted out across the S.P. Mukherjee Aquatics Complex and teammates in kilts sang along. Michael Jamieson, though, was unable to become the first Scotsman since David Wilkie in 1974 to win 200m breaststroke gold. He took silver behind Rickard. South Africa's Natalie Du Toit bowed out with a win in the women's 100m butterfly S9 -- her third gold of the Games -- after dominating parasports swimming since Manchester in 2002. She plans to compete in the next Paralympics in London in 2012 then retire.
