Wiffen and McSharry Shine in Paris | Belfast News

Daniel Wiffen is heating up in Paris, finishing second in the 1500m freestyle heats with a blistering 14:52.29 as he eyes a medal in Saturday’s final — all while battling the city’s sweltering heat and managing his fitness strategically. Meanwhile, Mona McSharry is smashing it, claiming silver in the 200m breaststroke with a jaw-dropping final 50m that edged out her Dutch rival by just 0.24 seconds — adding to her bronze from days earlier. She’s loving the vibe, joking about relocating to Paris thanks to family support, and nearly matched her Irish record. Other Irish stars had mixed fortunes: Danielle Hill narrowly missed advancing in the 100m backstroke, while Ellie McCartney battled through the 200m breaststroke final before diving into the IM semi-finals.
