'I'm confident within myself... it's just about executing good race plans,' Cate said.

Bronte finished nearly a second slower at 53.71 seconds, coming third to Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom and America's Abbey Weitzeil in heat six.
Cate flashed a cheeky grin as she surfaced and realised her phenomenal record-breaking achievement.
Bronte looked like she was going to cinch second place but touched the wall 0.17 of a second after Weitzeil who led the heat in the opening seconds of the race.

'You are almost more nervous for your first swim than you are for your final swim,' Cate told Seven.
'It's just good to get out the blocks, start racing and looking forward to getting some more tonight,' she added.
Bronte said she felt like she was in a 'good position' coming into tonight's final.
'It's pretty good, just getting through the rounds at this stage it's a very quick field,' she said.
