Photograph: Andrea Masini/InphoEllen Walshe ended her World Championships by finishing fifth in the 400m individual medley and sixth in the 100m butterfly to complete a great week in Budapest in which she set eight new Irish records.
Asked about her impressive week, she added: “I can’t really remember right now. I’m definitely feeling it, but yeah, I’ve had a great week. And I couldn’t have probably asked for more, it’s a pity there wasn’t a bit more in the 400 but considering the week that I’ve had, I can’t really expect much more.
