The World Transplant Games is a week of sport and celebration for all who have received a life-saving transplant, and honours those families who have been organ donors.
Pastor Coman took out the gold in the 400m and 200m freestyle swim and bronze in the 100m and 50m freestyle swim.
He also achieved personal bests in all three triathlon legs (swim, ride, run).
