Emily Seebohm's sensational 2015 season continued on Sunday, claiming her fifth straight 100m backstroke gold in the FINA World Cup.

After high levels of haze saw the opening day of competition cancelled on Saturday, Seebohm wasted no time in backing up the gold medals she won in Moscow, Paris, Hong Kong and Beijing this year to remain undefeated.

Fellow Australian Cate Campbell also remained undefeated, claiming her third gold medal of the year in the 100m freestyle, after also winning in Hong Kong and Bejing.

Cate again held out her younger sister Bronte, who finished second.

In the men's competition, Australian Dan Smith won his fourth gold of the year in the 200m freestyle, becoming the third Australian to remain unbeaten throughout the World Cup.

Ashley Delaney claimed his fourth gold medal when he won the 50m breastroke and claimed his 11th medal overall, finishing second in the 200m race.

Sally Hunter also comes home with two medals, with a silver in the 50m breastroke and bronze in the 200m race.

Kenneth To (200m medley), Kyle Chalmers (50m freestyle) and Holly Barratt (50m butterfly) picked up silver medals and Te Haumi Maxwell (50m freestyle) collected a bronze on the second day of competition.
