Great Britain’s Georgia Davies set a European record in the women’s 50 back prelims with a time of 27.21, and she swam just off that time to take gold in the final. Davies touched in 27.23, eight hundredths ahead of Russian veteran Anastasia Fesikova in 27.31.

Finland’s Mimosa Jallow took bronze in 27.70, four hundredths ahead of Poland’s Alicja Tchorz. Tchorz came up in front after an outstanding underwater portion, but she couldn’t hang on for a medal.

France’s Beryl Gastadello took fifth in 28.10, with Italy’s Carlotta Zofkova (28.31), the Czech Republic’s Simona Baumrtova (28.38) and the Netherlands’ Kira Toussaint (28.70) finishing sixth through eighth, respectively.
