The latest sports news from The42.ie in 60 seconds

ELLEN WALSHE HAS progressed to her third final of the week at the World Aquatic Swimming Championships in Budapest, while Friday’s bronze medal winner in the 50m Backstroke, Shane Ryan, set a new Irish record in the 50m Freestyle heats to advance to the semi-finals.

“I didn’t feel great at all this morning, but it’s a PB,” Ryan said. “But I know what I’m capable of, I can be a bit faster on that and yeah, just go back, warm down, have a bit of fun tonight. A PB, a national record, we move forward. “Also short course, I always feel good swimming, then there’s a turn and it just stops my momentum, so I’m happy with it. Hopefully someone pulls out and I get to swim it again.”

“You know, the priority this year is actually not swimming. I went back to university and I’m studying a Masters which is quite full-on. I just sat an exam yesterday morning. From the outside looking in, no one sees that, so it’s been tough over the last six months trying to manage going back to school again.
