Great Britain claimed four medals in four events at judo's Visually Impaired European Championships in Hungary. Joe Ingram and Ben Quilter came home with silver medals, while Sam Ingram and Darren Harris claimed bronzes. Daniel Powell finished with a silver in the World Youth Games, which were held alongside the VI Euros in Debrecen. "It's great to see such exceptional results at such a tough competition," said Dave Sanders, Paralympic programme boss and the squads's delegation head. "I am absolutely delighted with the team's fantastic results and excellent individual performances. "Every player excelled themselves throughout the competition resulting in a clean sweep of five players and five medals - a feat never achieved before." Joe Ingram lost to 2008 Paralympic silver medallist Karim Sardarov of Azerbaijan in the 100kg final, while Quilter lost his 60kg final to another Azerbaijani, Ramin Ibrahimov. Ingram's brother Sam took bronze in the 90kg class, while Team Bath's Harris was competing in the 66kg category.
