Britain's William Ellard and Iona Winnifrith both take gold on day one of the Para-swimming European Open Championships.
Teenagers Iona Winnifrith and William Ellard both took gold for Britain on the opening day of the Para-swimming European Open Championships in Madeira.
The event, which is the last major international test before Paris, is also open to non-European swimmers. But she put in a storming breaststroke leg, coming from more than seven seconds back to lead by two and a half seconds with the freestyle leg remaining, and she maintained her advantage to win in three minutes 9.76 seconds - with Korzhova clocking 3:10.24.
Ellard had equalled the world record of 1:52.40 at the Aquatics GB Championship and although he looked on course to beat that time in Madeira, he faded slightly late on to clock 1:52.62 to finish well clear of Ukraine's Dmytro Vanzenko .
