A year on from Tokyo, Mona McSharry is still basking in the glow (Irish Examiner)

Paris 2024 is already in her sights but she knows nothing will ever compare to her first experience at the world's biggest sporting circus.

Part of that is just down to the need for something new after zeroing in on the 100 for so long. It can only help my 100 as well because the more endurance I have for the 200 will only stand to me.” The 50m freestyle was pencilled in as a fun filler. She finds comfort in thinking her races through long before the starting gun. A year since she arrived at the Olympic village in Tokyo. A year since her first race. All of which fits neatly with the feeling that this is an athlete with the happy knack of peaking when it matters most. A year since she became the first Irish swimmer in 25 years to make a final at the Games. Great memories. Working with a sports psychologist in Knoxville has helped. I feel like I’m letting the country down when I don’t swim fast. “Honestly, I have had a mixed bag. “I feel like I’ve had both. If this all looks easy to us then she is painfully straight when insisting it’s not.

MONA MCSHARRY DECLARED herself disappointed with a fifth-placed finish in the final of the 100m breaststroke at the European Championships in Rome tonight.

Popovici had eased into the final on Friday with a new European record of 46.98 seconds. Greene finished seventh and second-last in his semi-final, in a time of 2:12.73. That’s how you’re going to get an edge on your competitors now: we’re all doing the same events, we’re all getting up tomorrow morning so there’s nothing different for any of us.” ‘The 200 is tomorrow morning, so it’s really going to be a quick turnaround, I’ll go back, get some food and sleep and mentally prepare for the next couple of days. If you had asked me to call out the time before I saw it I would have guessed faster, it felt better. “I put high expectations on myself but that’s not where I wanted to be tonight”, McSharry told RTÉ. “It would have been nice to go another 1.06 but look, that’s the way the cards fall sometimes.
