Great Britain's Angharad Evans secured her first European Championship gold medal in the 100m breaststroke final held in Paris. The 23-year-old swimmer finished with an impressive championship record time of 1:04.87, marking both her lifetime best and a new British record.

Evans not only claimed gold but also broke the championship record in the semi-final, outpacing Ireland's Mona McSharry, who took silver, and Italy's Benedetta Pilato, who earned bronze.

In the same championship, Filip Nowacki from Great Britain, who previously made headlines by winning gold in the 200m breaststroke at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, continued to impress as he was the fastest qualifier in the semi-final of the same event at the European Aquatics Championships. The 18-year-old swimmer clocked in at 2:08.60, advancing alongside his teammate Greg Butler.

Additionally, Amalie Smith of Great Britain secured a silver medal in the 400m individual medley final, finishing just 0.7 seconds behind Ireland's Ellen Walshe, while Poland's Justina Kozan took home the bronze. The 16-year-old Smith also won gold earlier in the 4x200m freestyle relay and was part of the 4x100m freestyle relay team that placed fifth.

Another standout performance came from Sara Curtis, an Italian swimmer who shattered the women's 50m backstroke world record with a time of 26.63 seconds, surpassing the previous record set by Australia's Kaylee McKeown by 0.23 seconds in her semi-final.
