Ellen Walshe just missed out on a place in the 400m individual medley final on the final day of the World Aquatic Championships, while Ireland's men competed in the 4x100m medley relay.
Walshe, already a two-time finalist in Singapore in the 200m individual medley and 200m butterfly, finished fifth in her heat, ninth overall, in her fastest ever morning swim in 4:38.72. Great Britain’s Freya Colbert secured the final place in 4:38.31, just four tenths of a second ahead of Walshe.
A team of John Shortt, Eoin Corby, Jack Cassin and Evan Bailey represented Ireland on the senior international team for the first time in the relay. The quartet, who all train together at National Centre Limerick, combined for a time of 3:37.56 in their heat.
