MacInnes stars as GB top medals table at Europeans
Great Britain finish top of the medals table at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris as Keanna MacInnes helps them win two golds on Sunday.
Great Britain claimed the top spot in the medals table at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris, with Keanna MacInnes playing a pivotal role in their victory. The 24-year-old swam the 200m butterfly leg in a new Scottish record time of two minutes 5.90 seconds. Later, MacInnes swam the fly leg in the women's 4×100m medley relay, helping the team secure a championship record of three minutes 53.50 seconds.
This performance, combined with Angharad Evans' gold in the individual 100m breaststroke and the fastest ever women's relay breaststroke leg, propelled Great Britain to the top of the medal charts, surpassing Italy by a tenth of a second. Italy finished second with 13 golds, while Great Britain amassed 14 golds, four silvers, and eight bronzes from swimming events.
The British swimmers also excelled in diving and artistic swimming, securing eight golds, two silvers, and four bronzes. The triumph was particularly special for MacInnes, who expressed her joy at winning two medals in one night.
