Russia's 18-year-old swimmer Kliment Kolesnikov won the 50m backstroke European Championship title, breaking the world record in the process. The teenager won in a time of 24.00 seconds, taking 0.04 seconds off the previous world record set by Britain's Liam Tancock at World Championships in Rome in 2009. "The big goal is the Olympics (in Tokyo in 2020)," Kolesnikov said.
