BBC Sport · 5 hours ago

Team GB enjoyed a strong opening day at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris, winning gold in both the men's and women's 4x200m freestyle relays and adding a bronze in the men's 400m individual medley. The result underlines Britain's continued strength in relay swimming and gives the squad early momentum heading into the rest of the championships.

Belfast's Jack McMillan joined James Guy, Duncan Scott and Matt Richards in the men's relay, touching first in 7:01.52 ahead of France and Germany. In the women's race, Freya Anderson, Leah Schlosshan, Abbie Wood and Freya Colbert won in 7:45.93, with Hungary second and Neutral Athletes B taking bronze. Max Litchfield took bronze in the 400m medley behind Russia's Ilya Borodin, who set a championship record, while Italy's Alberto Razzetti finished second. Elsewhere, Ireland's Jack Kelly broke his national 100m breaststroke record twice to reach Tuesday's final, and Belfast swimmer Lottie Cullen narrowly missed out on the 200m backstroke final for Ireland.
