With a miracle final day needed for Eve McMahon to deliver big, the Dublin sailor appeared to be back on form this morning in Sweden as she convincingly won the opening race of the day at the European Championships.
That result brought her back into contention for a solid finish to the six-day event but in the two races that followed, small errors on the race course meant that she finished in the bottom half of the fleet each time.
She finished 11th European overall and as consolation won the bronze medal for the under-23 age group.
There was good news for the McMahon household as her elder brother Ewan scored a personal best at the regatta with ninth European in his ILCA 7 men's event.
His final day also opened well with a third place, then a tenth followed by a 19th.
His team-mate Finn Lynch never found his regular top-ten form this week and ended 16th European in the 153-strong field.
The main season is now over for the one-person dinghy sailors but all three have been invited to compete in the Sailing Grand Slam final in The Netherlands next month.
Only the top ten athletes worldwide in each discipline will be competing including the Irish Sailing squad.
