Australian swimmer. Olympic champion in the 200m breaststroke.
The Guardian and BBC report that 18-year-old Filip Nowacki has won Jersey’s first Commonwealth Games gold in the men’s 200m breaststroke, finishing in 2:07.87 and boosting Jersey’s medal tally. He also took silver in the 100m breaststroke and is viewed as a potential record-setter for the island.
Eightteen-year-old Filip Nowacki has added to Jersey’s Commonwealth Games gold tally with more medals, but an adductor injury ends his plans to race Marchand at the European Championships; he remains focused on the European campaign and the road ahead.
