Great Britain's Darcy Deakin insists that Luke Greenbank's gold medal success at Baku 2015 was "well deserved".

Darcy Deakin has hailed fellow Team GB swimmer Luke Greenbank for his record-breaking performance in the men's 200m backstroke at the European Games.

The 17-year-old added to his earlier gold in the 100m event by storming to victory in Baku, finishing nearly three seconds ahead of the chasing pack in a time of 1:56.89.

Deakin, who missed out on qualifying for the women's 50m freestyle semis in her last outing, took to Twitter to praise her compatriot's efforts.


Fellow Briton Joe Hulme finished this afternoon's 200m backstroke event down in fifth place.
