Ireland's Róisín Ní Riain earned another medal at the 2024 Para Swimming European Open Championships, taking gold in the SB13 100m breaststroke final on Monday.
The Limerick swimmer picked up a silver in the S13 Butterfly final on Sunday in Madeira, Portugal, and went one better in the breaststroke on Monday, finishing first in a personal best time of 1:18.00.
"That was a pretty good swim, happy with the time and a great race," said the 18-year-old.
"I always think the 100 breaststroke is a fun one for me just to get out and race. I love the event, so I'm very pleased with that."
Nicole Turner and Barry McClements will be in the pool on Tuesday, while Dearbhaile Brady will tackle the 200 IM and Deaten Registe will make his European Championships debut in the 100m breaststroke later in the evening.
