BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Britain's Kathleen Dawson won the women's 100 metre backstroke final twice in one night at the European swimming championships on Friday after the first result was annulled.

Sweden made a successful official protest after Louise Hansson started late in lane eight due to a signal malfunction and the race was ordered to be re-run at the end of the programme.
