Nathan Wiffen misses out on place at Olympic Games

Ellen Walshe starred on the final morning of heats at the Olympic Trials as the Templeogue swimmer secured a second Olympic qualification time in the 400m Individual Medley.

Walshe, already qualified for the Games in the 200m Individual Medley, swam an impressive 4:38.05 in the 400m IM, just one tenth of a second outside the Irish record of 4:37.94 she set three weeks ago at the Leinster Championships.

However, Shane Ryan was again just outside of the Olympics time required in the 100m freestyle. He swam 48.66 in the final but was 0.32 outside of the Paris standard.

There has been nothing between Grace Davison from Ards and Belfast’s Victoria Catterson all week long.

Davison won the battle between the two Northern Ireland Commonwealth Games team-mates in the 100m freestyle and added the 50m title on Sunday.

However, in her favoured event, Catterson edged Davison in the 200m freestyle final by just one-hundredth of a second in a thrilling final.
