SOPHIE Allen claimed Great Britain's second silver in 24 hours at the European Swimming Championships in Debrecen.

Allen followed fellow Stockport swimmer James Goddard with a second place in the same event - the 200m medley.

The 20-year old - who will join British team-mate Hannah Miley in the same event when she makes her Olympic debut in London - broke her own personal best and English record with a time of 2:11.49.

However, she was still more than half a second adrift of gold medallist, Hungarian defending champion Katinka Hosszu.
