European swimming medals for Michael Jamieson, Jemma Lowe and Chris Walker-Hebborn

Michael Jamieson, Chris Walker-Hebborn and Jemma Lowe all claimed medals on an impressive final day of competition for Bath Intensive Training Centre swimmers at the LEN European Short-Course Championships in Denmark. Less than a month after having his heart restarted at the RUH, Jamieson sliced more than one-and-a-half seconds off his British record to win 200m breaststroke silver in 2mins 1.43secs. Old rival Daniel Gyurta - who beat Jamieson to Olympic gold at London 2012 - took first place in 2:00.72, while Bath's Andrew Willis was fourth in a new English record of 2:02.99. Lowe claimed her second medal of the week as she lowered her Welsh record to 56.32 while winning 100m butterfly silver. And there was a new 100m backstroke personal best of 50.44 for Walker-Hebborn as he won an excellent bronze. Bath team-mate Sophie Allen set a new British record of 1:05.65 as she finished seventh in the 100m breaststroke. And Siobhan-Marie O'Connor - fresh from winning medals in both the 100m and 200m individual medley - was tenth in her third final of the week, clocking 1:56.6 in the 200m freestyle.
