Great Britain added another three medals to their collection on day two of the 2022 European Aquatics Championships in Rome.

Day one of the Championships saw GB's women's 4x200m freestyle relay team take the silver medal, and there was another runner-up spot on the podium for 18-year-old Katie Shanahan.

Fresh from winning two bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games, Shanahan bettered her Birmingham result with a silver in the 200m backstroke, finishing with 2:09.26 on the clock.

Home favourite Margherita Panziera took the title with a time of 2:07.13, as Hungary's Dora Molnar finished less than half a second worse off than Shanahan in the bronze medal spot.

"I have no words right now! I'm ecstatic and just over the moon. I didn't expect to come in and get a medal, I knew I had a chance, but to come away with a silver is amazing," Shanahan told britishswimming.org.

"Coming off the back of Commies I obviously got those two bronze medals, so to come off that meet and do it again - I have no words. The crowd is amazing; I don't think I've heard a louder crowd in my life.

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to swim this type of meet in a pool like Rome, and I'm just so grateful to be here - let alone get a silver medal."

The other individual medal for GB went to Freya Anderson, who clinched the bronze in the 100m freestyle for her 12th medal at the long course European Championships in 53.63 seconds.

The 21-year-old - who formed a part of the silver medal-winning relay team - was just 0.01 shy of French runner-up Charlotte Bonnet and used her 'anger' from the previous day to help her gain another international honour.

"I'm really chuffed with that. Me and my coach always knew there was a chance but I had to adjust my race plan to be in with a chance; just go out and hold on, I thought it paid off and I'm really happy," Shanahan added.

"[The medley relay final yesterday] gave me confidence but also I was really angry that I just missed out on the gold, so I did sort of use that to my advantage. I was just really itching to get going and get myself on the podium."

Finally, another medley relay medal came the way of the mixed 4x100m squad, who took third place behind Italy and champions Netherlands with a total time of 3:44.69.

Medi Harris, James Wilby, Jacob Peters and Anna Hopkin stepped onto the podium for Great Britain in that event, but there was individual heartache for Wilby, who missed out on a medal in the individual 100m breaststroke final by 0.04 seconds. body check tags ::
