British hopeful Luke Greenbank dominates 200m backstroke heats in Baku

Team GB gold medallist Luke Greenbank will hunt down his second victory of the European Games after finishing first in the 200m backstroke heats.

Team GB's Luke Greenbank comfortably finished first in qualifying for the semi-finals of the 200m backstroke at the European Games this morning.

Greenbank, who won gold in yesterday's 100m backstroke final, clocked a time of 1:59.06 to win his heat.

The Briton's nearest challenger was almost two seconds back, with Russia's Roman Larin finishing in a time of 2:01.00.

There was more joy for Great Britain, as Joe Hulme put in a strong performance to record the fourth-fastest time (2:01.11) in qualifying.

However, as only two swimmers from each nation can qualify, Joe Litchfield (2:03.71) did not make it past the heats despite finishing 13th overall.
