A big week ahead. I’m hopeful we’ll get 3/4 swimmers straight away at the world championship with Wiffen and McSharry likely to do it easily

And hopefully Ciara Mageean on Friday night in the Mile.

 

A bit disappointed in our divers thugh Both Ciara McGing and Jake Passmore got to the finals in the European Games but were well down the field at the Worlds. 28th and 45th. Granted Europe is not the strongest for divers bar the UK and McGing should have a 50/50 in Doha I still would have hoped for Top 20 here. Which they would have if the acheived similar scores to the EG.

 

Really looking forward to seeing how good Wiffen is. He could be a huge name in 10 days time.

Outstanding stuff from Mageean in the mile tonight, didn't really see her run because all the focus was understandably on the world record, but great to see her in form again going into a major championships, shows that last year wasn't a one off.

 

Fifth fastest women's mile in history is some achievement.

Mona McSharry becomes the 42nd qualified athlete for Paris 2024. She set a new PB and Irish record of 1:05.55 mins this morning to go through as 2nd fastest qualifier for this evening’s semis of the women’s 100m breaststroke. What a swim!

Any hope of a 4th? 50m Freestyle men?

[dodge 1,027]

He’d be the best chance yeah but anything can happen in 50m free

 

He mightn’t get it this year, but young John Shortt will get the time before Paris in the 200m back

 

The rest will likely be waiting on OCT times and relays next year
