IRISH SWIMMER MONA McSharry continues to impress at her first Olympic Games.
Having reached the 100m women’s breaststroke final, where she finished eighth, the 20-year-old from Sligo was up in Heat 1 of the 200m breaststroke this morning.
Starting in Lane 6, McSharry put in a strong performance to claim second place behind Kristyna Horska of the Czech Republic.
Her time of 2:25.08 is a new Irish record but unfortunately wasn’t enough to see her progress to the semi-final.
With the top 16 spots up for grabs, McSharry was 20th overall.
