Mona McSharry has secured her third final at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha, making it a clean sweep across the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke events.

McSharry, who was fifth in both the 100m and 200m breaststroke earlier this week, touched in 30.57 for fourth place in this evening’s semi-final. The time, faster than this morning’s 30.72, sees the Sligo woman advance in sixth place overall.

McSharry commented after the race: “It’s great, I think being able to go back-to-back racing in multiple events and being able to make it back to multiple finals is really encouraging, and look I get to go again tomorrow, the 50m is just a splash and dash so it’s a nice one to finish on.”

The women’s 50m breaststroke final will take place on Sunday at 4:09pm.
