More Irish swimming records broken in Rome

Thursday, 30 July 2009

Three more Irish records have been broken at the World Swimming Championships in Rome this morning.

The women's 4 x 200m freestyle team shattered the old record by a full 36 seconds after completing their heat in 8:09.34.

Karl Burdis also set a new mark of 2:04.34 in the men's 200m backstroke, while Clare Dawson clocked a record time of 56.32 seconds in the women's 100m freestyle.

However, they all failed to progress to the next stage of their respective events.

Fiona Doyle and Andrew Bree also failed to qualify in the 100m freestyle and 200m breaststroke respectively.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.
