    Fair play, must be tough doing the 1,500 and the 800, pretty sore muscles now i'd say. Great stuff though, now back to the sunbathing!

    Excluding you know who, this is the best Irish performance for an Irish athlete at a major swimming championships. Delighted for her.

    Only Irelands 2nd ever medal at a major long course championships, after Gary O'Toole's silver in 1989.

    Fantastic swim by Grainne Murphy!

    Just wondering what would the other Murphy (Barry) do if he had qualified for the 50m free semi-finals this eve?! He'd have had to swim the 50m free heats+semi-finals + 50m breaststroke final! In the end he got 23.06 in the 50m free and didn't qualify. I'm loathe to suggest it, but perhaps he took it easy to focus on the 50m breast final? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and all that.

    He has an outside shot of a medal. All 8 qualifying times are quite close

    Yup. If he goes anywhere near his Irish record (27.26) he'll have a good chance. Fastest semi-finalist swam 27.44. Fastest in the heats was 27.37.

    I'm sorry but I don't recognise Smith's medals.

    Grainne came 12th this morning in the 400m Free and misses the final. Tired I'm sure after a long hard week.

    Yup. Her 400m split in the 800 final was faster than that.

    Congrats to Grainne Murphy, great swimming altogether......Btw does anyone know what's happened to Aisling Cooney? Was a young swimmer at Beijing 2 years ago and would have expected her to be on the team at the Europeans? Is she injured maybe?

    I think Aisling Cooney is injured. But I am not certain.
    Her coach was ill recently and she moved to the High Performance Centre in Limerick to train until he got better. He is now better and she has moved back to Dublin to train with him again.

    There are another few to watch out for in the years to come, Syrenika Mc Mahon from Ulster(Leander Swim club I think & dont quote me on the spelling of her first name!!) and Shauna Smith who moved from Germany to train in Limerick (one of her parents is Irish and the other German-not sure which and she grew up in Germany so its a big move to make) who both have good potential.
    Syrenika broke some Irish records at the Euro Junior championships this summer(some set by Grainne Murphy last summer) so the future is very bright for Irish swimming...
    shauna father is irish and is swim trainer in berlin germany, training young swimmers very successfully for years her mother is german
