Walshe, who has won medals and set records across the 200m Butterfly and 400m Individual Medley over the past two weeks, swam to her first podium finish of the series in the 200m Individual Medley on Saturday night, breaking her own 2024 Irish Record of 2:05.52 in 2:04.75. The USA’s Alex Walshe won the event for the third week and claimed the ‘triple crown’ in 2:04.01, while Great Britain’s Abbie Wood was third in 2:05.33. Walshe, who was named in Ireland’s European Championships (25m) team earlier this week, will head to Poland full of confidence having won two gold (400m IM), four silver (200m IM, 400m IM, 200m Butterfly x 2) and one bronze (200m Butterfly) over the past three weekends. Having set 15 Irish Records during the 2024 short course (25m) season, she is well on track to repeat that feat having already demolished records in the 200m Butterfly (x3), 400m IM (x2) and 200m IM (x1) so far this season. McSharry picked up her third silver medal of the series in a new Irish Record of 29.58 in the 50m Breaststroke, knocking one hundredth of a second off her own 2021 standard of 29.59. In Westmont last week McSharry had won gold and equalled that record. Belgium’s Florine Gaspard won gold in last nights’ final in 29.48, with Japan’s Satomi Suzuki third in 29.90. The three were the only swimmers under the 30 second mark. Irish Record 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝘅 and podium finish 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 for Ellen Walshe at the World Aquatics World Cup!
