Irish Swimmers Shine in Paris | Dublin News

Jack Kelly narrowly missed the podium in Paris with a stunning 59.36 in the 100m breaststroke, his third-fastest time ever, and is now focused on his main event: the 200m breaststroke. Meanwhile, Mona McSharry heads into the women’s 100m breaststroke final in second-fastest qualifying time, aiming to stay close to record-breaking Angharad Evans. John Shortt stunned with a dramatic comeback in the 200m backstroke semi-final, setting a new Irish record of 1:55.31 and surging from seventh to second. Olympic champ Daniel Wiffen, recovering from appendicitis, powered into the 800m freestyle final with his fastest time of the season — 7:44.86. And the Irish mixed 4x100m medley relay smashed their own record at 3:48.34, falling just short of finals. It’s been a week of records, resilience, and rising momentum for Ireland’s swimming stars.
