Dearbhaile Brady wins bronze at World Para Swimming Championships

The 18-year-old from Derry secured her medal with a personal best time of 34.69 seconds.

DEARBHAILE BRADY HAS won her first ever medal at the World Para Swimming Championships.

The 18-year-old Derry native claimed bronze in the 50m Freestyle (S6) with a personal best time of 34.69 seconds.

Brady’s success takes Ireland’s medal haul for the championships in Singapore to four, following up Róisín Ní Riain who has two silvers and a bronze.

Brady did enough to keep Brazil’s Mayara do Amaral Petzold off the podium in a race that saw Ukrainian world-record holder Anna Hontar take gold in a time of 32.79, just .04 of a second ahead of China’s Yuyan Jiang.
