Pavoni wins European Junior title

Roberto Pavoni
Pavoni swam a personal best time to retain his title

Shenfield swimmer Roberto Pavoni has retained his European Junior 400 Individual Medley title in Prague.

The 18-year-old edged out Hungarian Gergely Gyurta by three-tenths of a second to mirror his win at the Championships in Belgrade last year.

The Essex swimmer's personal best time of 4.17.27 broke the British age-group record as well as the senior Eastern Region and county bests.

He also finished fifth in the 200m butterfly at the Championships.
