Britain's Maisie Summers-Newton set her second world record at the European Para Swimming Championships in Dublin today as she clocked 1min 33.63sec for the women's 100 metres breaststroke SB6 final.

This performance by the talented Northampton-based 16-year-old bettered her own previous world mark of 1:33.92, set in Sheffield on May 31 this year, and added to her achievement the previous day of beating the women's individual medley SM6 record previously held by fellow Briton Ellie Simmonds, the 23-year-old five-times Paralympic champion.

Simmonds, meanwhile, was a distant second tonight, clocking 1:41.56, with Viktoriia Savitsova of Ukraine took bronze in 1:41.93.

That was one of three world records on the third night of competition in these Championships at the National Aquatics Centre in the Irish capital.

Liesette Bruinsma began the run as she shattered the world record for the women's 400m freestyle S11 event.

The Dutch swimmer touched home in 5:04.74, taking more than six seconds off the eight-year-old world mark of 5:10.77 set by Germany's Daniela Schulte in Eindhoven.

The 17-year-old from Wommels won three golds, including the 400m freestyle, at the last European Championships at Funchal in 2016, along with a silver and a bronze.

Italy took silver and bronze behind Bruinsma in the classification for athletes with visual impairment, with Cecilia Camellini clocking 5:20.23, and Martina Rabbolini 5:49.94.

The second world record on the night fell to Italy’s Carlotta Gilli, who won the women's 200m individual medley SM13 in 2:22.12.

That trimmed a second and a half from the record she set last year in Berlin.

Anna Stetsenko of Ukraine took silver in 2:29.87, with bronze going to Spain’s Aria Edo Beltran in 2:34.66.
