The Templeogue swimmer won her 100m Butterfly Heat in 57.39 to go straight through to tonight’s final at 11.25pm.
She also excelled in the 200m Individual Medley, winning her Heat in 2:07.52. That final also takes place tonight at 12.19am.

Earlier in the competition, Walshe claimed silver in the 400m individual medley on Saturday night to go with the bronze she won in the 200m butterfly in a new Irish record of 2:05.07 on Friday.
Walshe, an Olympic finalist in the 400m individual medley (50m), was in medal contention throughout the race, but a 1:01.32 freestyle leg, the joint fastest in the field, saw her secure her second medal of the weekend in 4:28.47.
Great Britain’s Abbie Wood won gold in 4:27.14, while bronze went to Australia’s Ella Ramsay in 4:30.25.
McSharry continued her fine form with a fourth-place finish in the 100m breaststroke. The Olympic bronze medallist was just .33 of a second outside the medals in 1:04.16 and .24 outside of her 2021 Irish record of 1:03.92.
