McSharry coming up after the 100m backstroke men’s final.: “It’s my first semi-final, I cannot be disappointed, but it’s something out of my control. I’m an Olympic semi-finalist, so.
So close for Liam Jegou who had a genuine chance of a silver medal if it wasn’t for the final gate. He spoke to RTÉ. Instead, Nadal looked careworn and every bit of his 38 years, looking like someone who might be ready to head into retirement after playing only sparingly the past two seasons because of a series of injuries, including one that required hip surgery.
Through the second quarter of the race, Ireland settled into their rhythm, moving efficiently in the water, increasing their lead as they went. Afterwards Cremen has this reaction: “It was a really solid race so it was great, and felt good. It was our goal today to just feel in control and execute our plan. I think we did that, and I think we just wanted to be with the pack as long as we could and then have confidence in ourselves so that we can push through then with the fitness we have.
Walshe said: “It’s a bit of a shock. I saw fourth on the board and I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know, it’s just a waiting game’. I hadn’t seen the results from the heats before me and once I saw it, it was such a relief. I don’t think it was quite there this morning. The backstroke is probably my weakest stroke, I knew I had 200 to go, I could see the middle of the field and thought, ‘Okay, I just need to turn on the gears and fight.
