JERSEY’S teenage swimming sensation Filip Nowacki put the world of swimming on notice last night as he produced a record breaking performance to be crowned Junior World champion in the 100m Breaststroke at the World Aquatics Junior Championships in Otopeni, Romania.
Nowacki, 17, broke his own British age group record with a time of 59.24 seconds in the semi final stage to qualify for last night’s final.
He then went on to break that record one again in the final, touching the wall in 59.20 seconds to claim the gold medal and finish 0.3 seconds ahead of current Junior World Record holder, Shin Ohashi from Japan.
Check out tomorrow’s JEP for the full report, featuring reaction from Nowacki’s coach and Tigers Swimming Club head coach, Nathan Jegou.
