Emily Large and Freya Anderson both added to their gold medal tally on the fourth day of the 2018 European Junior Swimming Championships in Helsinki.

Large won joint gold in the women’s 100m butterfly final after swimming a dead heat with Belarus swimmer Anastasiya Shkurdai. Both touched the wall in 59.37.

Anderson had already tasted success in the women’s 100m freestyle, and she repeated the feat over 50m to win gold in 25.35.

Both British swimmers were also part of the women’s 4x100m medley relay team who won gold on Friday afternoon in Finland.

Large’s dead heat wasn’t the only tie in the 100m butterfly. Fellow Brit Keanna Macinnes also reached the final, and shared a time of 1:00.40 to take joint sixth with Italy’s Helena Biasibetti.

In the men’s 50m backstroke, Nick Pyle was just unable to add to his bronze medal achieved in the 100m backstroke on day two. Pyle had to settle for fourth in a closely contested battle with Swiss swimmer Thierry Bollin, who touched in 25.35 to take bronze a fraction ahead of Pyle’s 25.38.

The busy Pyle didn’t leave the session empty-handed though, returning as part of the mixed 4x100m medley relay team who took silver behind Russia. The team also featured Archie Goodburn, Emily Large and Freya Anderson.

The 800m freestyle final saw Nathan Hughes (8:05.15) finish in ninth and Will Bell (8:14.50) finish in 19th place.

Earlier, Tom Dean was the fastest qualifier in the men’s 200m freestyle with a 1:47.64, but Jacob Peters (53.91) just missed out on progressing to the 100m butterfly final despite a third place finish in the first semi-final. Lewis Fraser (54.04) was fifth.

Lily Boseley has qualified for the women’s 100m backstroke after finishing second in her semi-final, in 1:01.88. Lauren Cox was sixth in 1:03.40, just missing out.

Britain will have two swimmers in the women’s 100m breaststroke final, with Tatiana Belonogoff’s 1:09.40 earning her a fourth in semi-final one and Katie Robertson’s 1:08.74 good enough for second in the other.

Archie Goodburn reached the men’s 100m breaststroke final, his time of 1:02.73 giving him fourth place in the second semi-final. Gregory Butler was also fourth in the first semi, but his 1:02.82 was only good enough for a reserve spot.
