Jersey swimmer breaks British Junior Record previously held by Adam Peaty
Filip Nowacki, 17, completed the Men's 100m Breaststroke in 59.59 seconds, beating Peaty's time of 59.92 seconds.
Nowacki now stands as the third fastest 17 & Under 100m breaststroker in history.
The teenager, who now trains at Millfield School, spent his age group days under the guidance of Nathan Jegou with the Jersey Tigers Swimming Club.
He has also broken the European Junior Record in the 200m breaststroke, clocking a time of 2:09.11 minutes in the semi-final, breaking the record that had been set in the previous race by Turkey's Doruk Yogurtcuoglu, who swam 2:10:63.
His time would have placed him in contention for a spot in the Olympic final in Paris 2024, demonstrating Nowacki is performing at an Olympic-calibre.
Speaking after the event Nowacki said, "the team speaks for itself, I'm really happy with the outcome there and it's a really strong team so I'm really pleased".
The rising star has secured four Gold medals at this years European Junior Championships:
Gold in the Men's 200m Breaststroke (breaking the European Junior Record).
Gold in the Men's 100m Breaststroke (breaking the British junior record).
Gold in the Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay (contributing to a new Championship and European junior record).
Gold in the Men's 4x100m Medley Relay.
The teenager won three medals at the British Senior Championships earlier this year.

'Heavy', 'high-intensity': Mats Knoester on the training which has Aberdeen ready for Thursday-Sunday Europe demands
Aberdeen defender Mats Knoester revealed why he is confident this Dons team will be able to handle the gruelling Thursday/Sunday schedule which comes with action in Europe this time around. After lifting the Scottish Cup in May, the Dons are guaranteed Continental league action in either the Europa League or Conference League this season, to be decided by a late-August Europa League play-off tie. Several Scottish sides have struggled to balance extended European football with domestic commitments in recent campaigns – not least Barry Robson's Aberdeen when they competed in the Conference League group stage in 2023. Robson's Reds performed admirably against the likes of Eintract Frankfurt and PAOK, but suffered a dreadful league season alongside their Conference League efforts which ultimately cost Robson his job after the Euro matches came to an end. However, Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin – whose side rounded off their pre-season preparations with a 3-1 defeat to English Championship Ipswich Town at Pittodrie on Friday – have done the hard yards to ensure they can cope with their game-load in the months ahead. Knoester said: 'That's what we did a lot in pre-season – train under really heavy circumstances, a lot of high-intensity metres, so we really trained on that. 'We did everything we can to be ready for that (the schedule with European action).' Before their European adventure begins, Aberdeen will start their Premiership campaign next Monday with a tough trip to Tynecastle to face Hearts. Knoester – who signed for the Reds in January – has yet to experience the Gorgie venue, where the Dons have not won since 2017. Aberdeen did, however, beat Hearts at Hampden in the Scottish Cup semi-final on their way to lifting the trophy. Centre-half Knoester is not concerning himself with Aberdeen's long-standing Tynecastle hoodoo, and while he echoes manager Thelin's mantra of taking things one game at a time, he does expect Hearts to rival the Reds this term. Knoester said: 'The last few years, they're a good team. A big team as well. I think it's going to be an exciting game. It's not going to be an easy game away. 'Always the first game in the season is interesting to see how the teams are after the pre-season. 'I think we're aware that it's a tough game, away at Hearts. 'But I also think the past doesn't really matter. 'If I can go back to Celtic in Hampden (in the cup final) – we don't have a really good record against Celtic and then you win the game. 'In football, I don't think you should go too much back to the past, and then look forward. 'If we look a bit further, I think they (Hearts) are also one of the competitors. 'I prefer to just go week by week, but, of course, as Aberdeen, you're one of the bigger teams, and Hearts is that as well. 'So, in that way, I think we should compete with each other. ' In defeat to Ipswich on Friday, Aberdeen were exposed on three occasions by the relegated English Premier League outfit. While Knoester thinks the Dons' experimentation with a 'bit more extreme' high line designed to 'create pressure on them and take a bit more risk' was partly to blame for the increased spaces the Reds' backline struggled to cover, he also thinks Thelin's team can learn from their English pre-season visitors. He said: 'I think that was the goal, to have some big opponents, like Fulham and now Ipswich as well, especially going into Europe as well – we have a tough season coming. 'So I think if you want to improve something, you also have to play against the better teams, because they will show you also what's needed to be on that level. 'I think one big thing was consistency. If you see how consistent they are, and if they do make a mistake, they make up for it – they make a foul or they're back fast enough. 'If there's a rebound, there's somebody who taps it in, and we just miss it. Stuff like that – I think we can learn from that. 'You're one that sets a standard for yourself.'

Jimmy Thelin: Why Aberdeen are ready for Premiership opener at Hearts
Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin is convinced his team are prepared for Monday's Premiership opener at Hearts, despite the sides' contrasting preparations. Thelin's Scottish Cup-winning Dons, guaranteed European league football this season have been not involved in the Premier Sports Cup group stage as a result of their Continental commitments and have yet to begin their competitive season. However, the Jambos racked up four convincing wins against lower-league opposition in their League Cup section. Now managed by former Reds gaffer Derek McInnes, Hearts have also beaten now-English Premier League Sunderland and English League Two Crawley Town during the summer. Aberdeen, meanwhile, won their opening pre-season friendly against third-tier city neighbours Cove Rangers, but lost a closed-door bounce game at Premier League Fulham, before a 3-1 defeat to relegated English top-flight Ipswich Town at Pittodrie on Friday. While Hearts have been able to build up momentum, according to our columnist, Dons great Willie Miller, ahead of the Tynecastle showdown, Thelin believes his Reds are good to go against one of their expected rivals this term. Thelin said: 'We are ready for the season to start. We're looking forward to the season to start. 'Then during the season you always want to be better and grow – but we are fully ready for the first game of the season. 'I think we're going to be in four competitions this season, and I think as a player when you go out, you want to do well in all competitions. 'That is why the Ipswich and Fulham games helped us. It was quite competitive from our side, so I think that helps a lot, because they stretch us and they push us to get up the intensity. 'We are getting better and these games will help us going forward. 'I think also the first game of the season, all the emotions, all the spirit will also be there.' The Dons boss added: 'On Friday, the fans were at Pittodrie. It was around 13,000 people for a friendly game. It was amazing. 'I saw the players trying, so I'm not afraid that we won't be ready in a competitive way.' Despite Aberdeen opening their season on Hearts' patch, Thelin also implied his side will be going out to play their game, rather than adapt tactically to the hosts' approach. He said: 'We focus most on the way we want to play and the way we want to grow. 'But, of course, our analytic team has a good report on them and that's the topic for this week – go through all these games they've played so far, the ideas they want to do and then we prepare for that.' After the friendly reverse to Ipswich, Aberdeen centre-half Mats Knoester pointed to the Dons experimenting with a higher defensive line as a mitigating factor in the visitors being able to net three times. Manager Thelin concurred, but also highlighted other points – namely his team not stepping out quickly enough, and coughing up too many chances back to back – where improvements can be made. He said: 'Yes, we're trying to grow all the time and be more compact. 'I think some parts were quite good and still we have some small, small things to adjust to be better, but some parts were really good. 'But then in some moments of the game when we get, I think that's the first goal, then we get stuck in the moment when we don't really come up. 'They were using (exploiting) this really, really well. You see when they get time on the ball and accelerate the game, and it's really, really quick. 'These kinds of things are important – how can we be better to control this part of the game? 'It's important for us to grow in these parts – when we get hurt in the game with the first goal and (we) don't (let them) get one, two, three more chances in a row. 'We have this moment where we have to be more stable.'

Gallery: 60 years of thrills and spills at Fintray Hillclimb motorsport event in 24 photos
Twice a year, the quiet idyll of a working farm in secluded woodland near the River Don is shattered by speeding cars as the Fintray Hillclimb roars into action. 2025 marks an incredible 60 years of the motorsport event, which has attracted generations of petrolheads to the former Fintray House estate near Hatton of Fintray. Hillclimbs are one of the oldest forms of motorsport, where drivers tackle uphill courses one by one against the clock with the winner being the quickest. Many of motorsport's finest like Sir Jackie Stewart started their competitive racing days at sprints and hillclimbs. The 1960s was an exciting era in British motor racing when Jim Clark and Graham Hill et al were scooping up trophies and titles galore. But back in Aberdeenshire, a new motorsport event was gearing up to launch. The Aberdeen and District Motor Club got recognition of their course on the old Fintray House policies as an authorised speed circuit. The relatively short 620-yard (567m) hill was only the third RAC-recognised hillclimb in Scotland. But it wasn't about the length. The track lead into a long right-hander where the climb began, followed by a left-hander which almost without warning turned into a 180 hairpin bend. With no camber, the track then followed a short straight before terminating in a hairpin right and sprint to the finish. The first official event was held on August 1 1965 in glorious sunshine and was opened by Scottish hillclimb champion Rae Fielding. A total of 68 competitors from motor clubs across Scotland took part in front of a crowd of more than 2000 spectators. Notable entrants that weekend included Aberdeen racing driver Willie Forbes who drove his Elva BMW, setting the fastest time of the day at 30.6 secs. He pipped Rae Fielding to victory when the latter had transmission trouble while competing. But hillclimbs weren't just the preserve of men, they attracted women too – and even husband and wife teams. At the inaugural Fintray Hillclimb, Fraserburgh entrants Jimmy Adams and Margaret Jack both competed in a 1275cc Cooper S. Jimmy was only six-tenths of a second behind winner of his class with a time of 38.2 secs, while Margaret took fourth place with 41.4 secs. The hillclimb's debut was so successful that the second event on September 26 1965 attracted 78 competitors across nine classes. Drivers came from across Scotland for the second round, which counted towards the Scottish speed championships. Competitors included super husband and wife duo Agnes and Gray Mickel. Both were well-known hillclimb enthusiasts and competed in many single-seater races throughout the 1960s and '70s in their 2.5l Cooper racer. Talented Agnes, from Glasgow, routinely raced (and won) against men in sprints, hillclimbs and rallies. Miss G Stewart of Paisley, a regular at Crimond sprint, also competed in the saloon class in her red Sunbeam Alpine. The hillclimb has continued to run at Fintray since the 1960s and remains the sort of event that lets spectators get close to the action. Grampian Automobile Club (GAC) established in the 1990s to keep the Fintray Hillclimb going, being the only event of its kind left in the north-east of Scotland. GAC hosted their first hillclimb May 1995 and has continued to run four events a year over two weekends ever since. When the cars aren't on the track, they're accessible in the pits for enthusiasts to admire and photograph. Safety features and the types of cars competing may have changed over the years, but the spirit of the original hillclimb is still very much alive and thriving in Aberdeenshire.
