World Para-swimming Championships: Britain's Tully Kearney breaks another world record

Britain's Tully Kearney broke a second world record in as many days as she claimed gold in the S5 100m freestyle on the final day of the World Para-swimming Championships.

Kearney broke a 22-year-old record in the S5 200m freestyle on Friday, before again setting a new mark on Saturday.

The 25-year-old finished in a time of one minute 13.34 seconds to complete the defence of her three world titles.

"It's completely unreal," said the Paralympic gold and silver medallist.

"I don't think anyone was expecting that so I'm kind of speechless, but extremely happy.

"Moving temporarily to Loughborough five weeks ago was a tough decision but it's made a massive difference to me.

"A happy swimmer is always going to swim fast, so it gives me a lot to think about going forward."

Britain also won three silvers and a bronze on the final day in Madeira.

Ellie Challis set a new British record with a time of 1:48.42 to win silver in the S3 100m freestyle - her fourth medal of the championships.

Jessica-Jane Applegate won silver in the S14 100m butterfly, while compatriot Poppy Maskill claimed bronze to complete a set of all three medals in her debut championships.

Reece Dunn recovered from illness and injury in his preparations to win silver in the S14 100m butterfly to ensure GB finished fourth in the medal table with 17 golds, 13 silvers and 8 bronze.

The next World Championships will take place in Manchester from 31 July to 6 August 2023.
