Larne swimmer Danielle Hill qualifies for the 50m freestyle event at this summer's Paris Olympics with a new Irish record of 24.68 seconds.
Larne swimmer Danielle Hill described it as "a bonus" after qualifying to compete in the women's 50m freestyle at this summer Olympic Games.
In doing so, she made history by becoming the first Irish woman to break the one-minute barrier in the 100m backstroke. ”So listen, it's an awesome place to be and it has been a long journey, but I'd do it all again if this was the end result.Hill’s swim was the highlight of the fourth night of competition in Dublin.
Galway backstroker John Shortt won the 200m backstroke in 1:58.38 but was shy of the Olympic time of 1:57.50 while Ellen Walshe, already Paris bound in the 200m individual medley, failed to make the time needed in the 100m butterfly.
