Three Irish medal hopefuls in today's Euro swimming championships

There are three Irish medals hopefuls in tonight's finals at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris.

John Shortt (19) will be in the men's 200-metres backstroke final at 5:40pm Irish time.

Mona McSharry came through second-fastest in qualifying for the women's 100-metres breaststroke final, which is underway just before 6pm.

After this, reigning Olympic champion Daniel Wiffen will be in the men's 800-metres freestyle final just after 7pm.

So far this morning, Ellen Walshe has come second in her women's 400-metres individual medley heat.

Jack Kelly has come third in his heat in the men's 200-metres breaststroke European Aquatics Championships in Paris. He progresses to tonight's semi-finals, along with Eoin Corby.

A fourth-placed finish for Danielle Hill was enough to go through to the women's 50-metres backstroke semi-finals. However, Lottie Cullen will not progress, after finishing eighth.

Victoria Catterson, Grace Davison and Danielle Farrell missed out on semi-final spots in the women's 200-metres freestyle.

Matthew Hamilton and Jacob Armon were also unsuccessful in the men's 100-metres butterfly heats.
