Greece ended the European Aquatic Championships in second place with 17 medals in total – five gold, eight silver and four bronze.

Also having an impressive night was Poland who won two gold medals. Dominika Sztandera won the women’s 50 breaststroke in a 30.55, marking a new Polish National Record. Later in the night, Sztandera helped the women’s 4×100 medley relay to gold and another national record.
