Kaylee McKeown won back-to-back gold in the women's 100m backstroke.
PARIS – Kaylee McKeown won back-to-back gold in the women's 100m backstroke while Daniel Wiffen made history as he became the first Irishman to win a swimming gold as he swept to victory in the 800m freestyle at the Paris Games on Tuesday.
After Ariarne Titmus beat Katie Ledecky in the 400m freestyle 'Race of the Century' on the opening night and Mollie O'Callaghan won the 200m freestyle and the Dolphins combined for gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay, this was another show of strength. She is now one of only two women, along with American Natalie Coughlin, to have won two golds in this event.
"Ultimately, I think other people's performances are completely out of my control and Kaylee is... one on one, she is an absolutely incredible racer and she knows what to do when it matters, but I'm really proud of myself," said the American.Wiffen had talked ahead of his final of how he would be happy with any medal, especially given that Ireland had never had any kind of podium finish in men's swimming.
Wiffen will swim in the 1,500m and he also plans to take part in the 10km open water race in the River Seine. Qin, the 2023 world champion in the event, was considered one of the favourites for gold but finished with a time of 2:09.96 in his semi-final, 1.85sec behind the fastest qualifier Leon Marchand of France.
