European Aquatics Championships: Danielle Hill wins second Belgrade medal

Larne swimmer Danielle Hill clinched her second medal of the European Aquatics Championship in Belgrade as she earned silver in the 100m backstroke.

Hill, 24, won the 50m backstroke title on Thursday to become the first Irish gold medallist at a European long course championships since Michelle de Bruin in 1997.

In Saturday’s final, the Northern Irishwoman clocked 1:00.19 which left her 0.40 seconds behind Polish winner Adela Piskorska.

Hill was clinching Ireland’s second medal of Saturday’s evening session after Ellen Walshe won the 400m individual medley gold by lowering her national record as she clocked 4:37.18, which cut 0.76 seconds off her previous mark.

“It’s pretty special after what has been a crazy night,” said Hill after her silver medal winning swim.

“Credit to Adela Piskorska that she got her hand on the wall with a massive PB for her.

“It wasn’t to be tonight but I can’t be disappointed with a silver medal.”
