Mona McSharry, competing in Canada yesterday, has broken her own 200m Breaststroke Irish Record in 2:22.49 in the heats, backing it up with a 2:22.68 in the final.
McSharry took two seconds off her 2:24.50 Irish Record from 2023 at the Mel Zajac International in Vancouver and is now ranked seventh in the World this year.
Already having achieved the Olympic Qualification Time in the 100m Breaststroke for Paris in Fukuoka in 2023, McSharry’s time is under the 200m Breaststroke OQT and so will give her the opportunity to swim the event at the Games.
