IRELAN’S CLARE CRYAN finished fifth in the women’s 3m springboard final at the European Acquatics Championships in Rome today.

Meanwhile, at the European Championships in Munich, Patrick O’Leary and Jenny Egan-Simmons both missed out on their respective canoeing finals today.

O’Leary finished fourth in the semi-final of the men’s VL3 200m, with just the top three progressing. Egan-Simmons was ninth in the semi-final of the women’s K1 500m, but her focus now switches to her main event tomorrow: the final of the K1 5000m.
