MONA McSHARRY finished seventh in the final of the 100m breaststroke at the European Aquatics Championships this evening.
The Sligo swimmer has enjoyed an encouraging week in Budapest, reaching the final after recording the second-fastest time of her life with a time of 1:06.42 to finish third in her semi final, qualifying as the sixth fastest overall.
McSharry, 20, recorded a time of 1:06.58 in the final, but was some way off the 1:05.69 of Sweden’s Sophie Hansson, the new European champion, who powered clear after a tight race.
Hansson was joined on the podium by Italian pair Arianna Castiglioni and Martina Carraro, who recorded times of 1:06.13 and 1:06.21 respectively.
