Filip Nowacki has become the most decorated Jersey athlete in Commonwealth Games history after winning gold in the 200m breaststroke. The 18-year-old also secured a silver medal in the 100m breaststroke on Saturday.
Nowacki is only the second person from the island to win a gold medal, with Jersey's first gold since Colin Mallett topped the podium in fullbore shooting in 1990. His gold and silver medals surpass Mallett's achievement in Auckland, where he also won fullbore pairs bronze.
Nowacki, a world junior and British senior champion, led the 200m breaststroke final from start to finish, opening up a 0.72 second lead after 150m and finishing in 2:07.87. He beat Canada's Oliver Dawson into second place, with Australia's Zac Stubblety-Cook taking bronze.
The swimmer is also part of the Team GB setup, with an aim on the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
