Darragh Greene (second from left) and the other members of Ireland's 4x100 Medley relay team who finished 7th in the World Final in Doha, Qatar
7th in the World for Longford Breaststroke star Darragh Greene and Ireland's 4x100m Medley Relay team who clocked a time of 3:35.28 in the final in Doha, Qatar this Sunday evening as the 2024 World Aquatics Championships came to a conclusion.
Ireland's 4x100m Medley Relay team qualified for the World final after producing an outstanding performance in their heat earlier this morning.
Darragh, along with Conor Ferguson, Max McCusker and Shane Ryan, achieved a first World Long Course Relay Final for Ireland following the fantastic swim of 3:34.94 in finishing 4th in their heat and 8th overall in a major achievement with both Australia and China missing out in a big shock.
Speaking after the race Greene said ‘A world final is literally what everyone is working towards, dreaming of, which is huge for us, individually, and as a group, it’s absolutely class.’
The team are now 15th in Paris rankings which would be within the top 16 required for the 4x100m Medley event at the Olympic Games this summer. The combined Top-16 times from Doha and the 2023 World Championships in Japan are considered for invitations.
Still some work to do, with two Olympic Qualification Times (OQT) required from the team in order to accept the place if an invitation is received.
