Great Britain’s James Wilby continued a successful summer as he claimed 200m breaststroke gold at the European Aquatics Championships in Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n

In July, Wilby beat two-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty – who is not competing in Rome – to 100m gold at the Commonwealth Games.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Freya Anderson added to Britain’s tally with 200m freestyle silver – her fourth medal of the European Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

GB then won bronze in the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilby, 28, won 200m breaststroke silver at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and inflicted Peaty’s first 100m defeat since 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peaty was recovering from a broken foot and is not competing in Rome, taking a break from competition as he resets for the 2024 Olympics after saying he had <\/span>lost his “spark”<\/span><\/a> in Birmingham.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having also competed at the World Championships this summer, Wilby said: “The whole of the GB team are digging in deep after all the internationals we’ve had.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a case of getting in there, being brave and fighting for it. It was a difficult race but I’m really chuffed with the result.”<\/span><\/p>\n
