Russian teenage swimmer Kliment Kolesnikov added a gold and a silver to his European Championships medal haul in just over an hour’s time on Monday.

Kolesnikov dominated the men’s 100-meter backstroke for his third gold, and returned to the pool shortly afterward to help Russia take silver in the 4x100-meter medley relay.

It raised his total to four from as many events.

On Saturday, Kolesnikov improved the world record in the 50 backstroke to 24 seconds, a day after triumphing with the Russian team in the 4x100 freestyle relay. A fifth medal is likely to follow after the 200-meter backstroke on Wednesday.

Kolesnikov, who turned 18 last month, is living up to his billing as one of the big prospects for Russian swimming at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

A year after his international debut at the 2016 European junior championships, he enjoyed his breakthrough, placing fourth in the 200 backstroke at the world championships in Budapest and winning four titles at the European shorttrack championships in Copenhagen.

In Denmark, he just missed out on a perfect five golds from five events as he was edged for the 50 backstroke title by Italy’s Simone Sabbioni.

Sabbioni was no threat to Kolesnikov in the 100 backstroke on Monday, finishing 1.32 behind in sixth.

Kolesnikov opened fast and gradually extended his lead. He seemed to be cruising to victory until fellow Russian Evgeny Rylov started to catch up in the final 20 meters. Kolesnikov held off the challenge to clock 52.53 seconds, with Rylov, the 200 backstroke

Chairman arrested for DWI, oxycodone possession

NASCAR mogul Brian France was arrested in New York’s Hamptons for driving while intoxicated and criminal possession of oxycodone after he was seen blowing through a stop sign, police said.

France, the chairman and CEO of the auto racing behemoth, was arraigned Monday at Sag Harbor Village Justice Court after a night in jail and released on his own recognizance.

Information on a lawyer who could comment on France’s behalf was not immediately available, nor was information on his next court date.

France, 56, was pulled over and arrested about 7:30 p.m. Sunday near the Sag Harbor waterfront. Officers saw indications of intoxication and found the pills during a subsequent search, police said.

TMZ first reported the arrest. world champion, coming 0.21 behind. Greece’s Apostolos Christou came more than a second behind in 53.72 for bronze.

Less than 80 minutes later, Kolesnikov opened the relay event for Russia and beat his time from earlier tonight by 0.02 for a new personal best.

The 52.51 time meant yet another junior world record, but also left him still well short of the world record of 51.85, set by Olympic champion Ryan Murphy of the United States at the Rio de Janeiro Games.

But records are not what Kolesnikov is bothering about at these championships.

“The big goal is the Olympics,” he said on Saturday after beating Liam Tancock’s nine-year-old best mark in the 50 backstroke. “It’s nothing special what I have done today, the special one is the Olympics.”

The medley relay was won by Britain in a European

It gave Adam Peaty his second gold medal after setting a world record of 57.10 in the 100-meter breaststroke on Saturday, just an hour before Kolesnikov swam his.

In track cycling, Belgium won the men’s madison at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome as Robbe Ghys and Kenny De Ketele gathered 60 points to beat world champions Roger Kluge and Theo Reinhardt of Germany, who finished on 49.

Britain’s Ethan Hayter and Oliver Wood took bronze with 38 points.

Also, the diving competition opened at the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh with Ukraine winning the mixed team event. Oleg Kolodiy and Sofiia Lyskun were third before the final round but both successfully executed dives with the highest degree of difficulty to overtake early leaders Germany and Russia.

Capitals hire Arniel, Cashman as assistant coaches

The Washington Capitals have hired Scott Arniel and Reid Cashman as assistants on coach Todd Reirden’s staff.

General manager Brian MacLellan announced the moves Monday. Since Reirden was promoted from associate coach to fill Barry Trotz’s role, Arniel and Cashman have replaced him and outgoing assistant Lane Lambert behind the bench for the defending Stanley Cup champions.

The 55-year-old Arniel spent the past five seasons as associate coach for the New York Rangers under Alain Vigneault. Arniel previously spent parts of two seasons as coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The 35-year-old Cashman was an assistant with the American Hockey League’s Hershey Bears the past two years. Like Reirden, Cashman played defense and could be a fit to coach the Capitals’ defensemen.
