juniors show how it's done at europeans

Britain’s contingent at the European Junior Championships gave their senior counterparts a lesson in how it’s done on the first night of competition in Palma de Majorca as the squad claimed two gold and four silver medals.
Robbie Renwick, fresh form an impressive showing at the Melbourne commonwealth games took eh 200m freestyle in a personal best time of 1:49.26 and was swiftly followed onto the top of the medal dais by Jessica Dickons, with the Stockport swimmer shading her club and national team-mate Jemma Lowe to the 200m butterfly title, 2:10.59 to 2:11.59.
There was little time for Dickons to recover as she returned only minutes later for the final of the 400m IM, where a strong performance saw her complete the 8 laps in silver medal position. The lack of recovery time had played part however said Dickons afterwards “The first 50 fly felt relaxed but I started to feel it on the second. On backstroke I just concentrated on keeping my stroke rate up, same on the breaststroke, picking up on the second 50 and then on the front crawl gave it all I had.”
The final two medals to be claimed were pocketed by the boys 400m freestyle relay and the girls 800m freestyle relay squads. The boys team of David Waslin, Adam Brown, Grant Turner and Robbie Renwick overcame the handicap of an outside lane to snatch silver form their Italian rivals by just 0.05s. A well drilled Russian Quartet took the gold medal, well clear in 3:23.63.
The girls squad found themselves sin a head to head duel, again with the Russian team, for the gold medal. Fran Halsall,
Natalie Durant, Lizzie Simmonds and Rachael George were always in contention for the gold medal but the Russians proved the stronger at the end, edging Britain into silver by less than a second, 8:10.96 to 8:11.76.
