Cumbrian swimmer Luke Greenbank added to his medal haul with victory in Spain.
The Cockermouth star won the men’s 200m backstroke in the Barcelona leg of the Mare Nostrum series.
Olympic medallist Greenbank pulled clear of the field to win in a time of 1.56.88.
That put him ahead of South African Pieter Coetze and Hungary’s Adam Telegdy, with Brtain’s Brodie Williams fourth.
The result saw Greenbank maintain his solid form ahead of the World Championships in Budapest next month.
The 24-year-old’s fellow Brits Tom Dean, Abbie Wood, Anna Hopkin, Freya Anderson, Mollie Renshaw, Laura Stephens and Ben Proud also claimed medals in Spain.
