Photograph: Bryan Keane/InphoEllen Walshe secured two new Irish records and confirmed her place in the 50m butterfly semi-finals and 200m individual medley final, while John Shortt set a new Irish junior record on the opening morning of racing at the World Short Course Swimming Championships in Budapest on Tuesday.
Speaking after her races, Walshe said: “I’m delighted, I’ve raced a lot of short course since the start of my season in September. I just wanted to come out here and enjoy it, there’s no pressure, there’s no qualifying for any meets so you just have to get up and race.
“It’s nice to get off to a good start, it’s always important to start strong at something like this as you build your momentum as the week goes on. But a good race, it was good to race the guys in that heat, I’m happy out,’ said Shortt.
