Jersey teenager Filip Nowacki has broken the European junior 200m breaststroke record again for the second time in two days.

Nowacki set a time of 2 mins 02.96 as he finished fourth in the final at the European Short Course Championships in Lublin, Poland, on Friday night.

The 18-year-old recorded his previous best in Thursday's semi-finals when he swam 2:03.75.

The Channel Islander, who won eight gold medals at this summer's Island Games, is already the fourth fastest Briton ever in the 200m breaststroke.
