British teenager Filip Nowacki triumphed in the men's 200m breaststroke final at the European Aquatics Championships held in Paris. The 18-year-old swimmer delivered a stunning performance, finishing with a time of 2 minutes 7.70 seconds, which allowed him to narrowly defeat Caspar Corbeau from the Netherlands, who clocked in at 2:07.78.

Luka Mladenovic of Austria secured the bronze medal with a time of 2:08.91, while fellow Briton Gregory Butler finished fifth at 2:09.45.

Notably, Nowacki had already made headlines last month by winning gold in the same event at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, marking a historic achievement for Jersey.

In other events, Lauren Cox and Freya Colbert contributed to Great Britain's medal tally with bronze finishes. Cox claimed third place in the women’s 50m backstroke final, where 19-year-old Italian Sara Curtis set a new world record of 26.56 seconds. Curtis had previously broken the record during the semi-finals with a time of 26.63 seconds.

Cox's final time was 27.15 seconds, placing her behind Mary-Ambre Moluh of France, who finished second at 27.06 seconds.

Colbert also earned a bronze medal in the women's 200m freestyle final, finishing with a time of 1:55.81. She trailed behind Barbora Seemanova, who set a championship record of 1:54.38, and Marrit Steenbergen of the Netherlands, who took second place with 1:54.65.
