Great Britain’s Benjamin Pritchard set a world record for the second time in three days as he became European champion on Saturday.

The Paralympic champion broke the record in the PR1 men’s single sculls on day one of the European Rowing Championships.

Pritchard posted a time of eight minutes 47.88 seconds to book his place in the final in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

The 33-year-old Welshman then topped that two days later, winning in a time of 8:40.38 to claim his first European title.

That was enough to beat the previous world-record holder, Ukraine’s Roman Polianskyi, who was second in 8:51.93, while Italy’s Giacomo Perini was third (8:55.96).
