BRENDAN HYLAND RECORDED his second fastest ever time and finished third in his heat, but missed out of a place in the next stage of the 200m butterfly.
His time of 1:57.09, which was just half a second off his Irish senior record, left him in a final position of 23rd, which meant he did not progress.

Meanwhile, Ellen Walshe finished eighth in her heat in the Women’s 200m Individual Medley after recording a 2:13.34 swim.
The 19-year-old came in 19th overall which improved on her pre-meet ranking of 20th, but it was not enough to see her into the semi-finals.
