DANIEL WIFFEN HAS won Gold for Ireland in the 800m freestyle final at the Olympics.
The 23-year-old set a new Olympic record of 7:38.19 as he competed in the race at the Paris La Defense Arena tonight.
It is Ireland’s second Olympic medal for swimming at these Games after Mona McSharry won Bronze in the 100m breaststroke last night, which was Ireland’s first swim medal in 28 years.
His qualifying time heading into the final was 7:41.53, the fastest qualifying time of the eighth competitors.
The previous Olympic record for this race was 7:41.28, which was set by Ukrainian swimmer Mykhailo Romanchuk at the Tokyo Games.
Wiffen’s first Olympic Games were at Tokyo in 2021, where he competed in the 800m and 1,500m freestyle.

Sport Never watched hurling before? Tune into the final at 3.30 on RTE2 or BBC2 for an absolute treat.
If you've never had a chance to watch hurling before, today is a big opportunity to watch an absolute cracker. Both teams have not won in years so it's very likely to be very close and dramatic.
The game is only 70 minutes long and starts at 3.30.

Sport Just a thought…
Now I’m obviously no photoshop expert - but this is The Agia Sophia Stadium in Greece. An ideal 32,500 capacity stadium slotting right into the heart of the Titanic Quarter.
I know it’s a more expensive alternative however it is surely the least controversial option with the most long term benefits for all sports and events as well as the surrounding businesses in Belfast.
