Mona McSharry has finished fifth in the 200m breaststroke final at the World Aquatic championships in Doha – her second fifth place at the championships having done likewise in her specialist event the 100m breaststroke on Tuesday.
She missed out on qualifying for the Olympic 200m breaststroke posting a time of 2:24.89 which though faster than her semi-final time of 2:25.13 was marginally slower than her heat winning time of 2:24.91 and outside the Olympic standard of 2:23.91.
