Corby sets new Irish record

-

LIMERICK’S Eoin Corby set his first Irish Senior Record in the heats of the 200m Breaststroke at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Corby touched in 2:06.45 erasing Uiseann Cooke’s 2021 record.

The 22-year-old from Clarina was sixth in his heat.

Commented Corby: “I’m very happy, funnily enough I felt kind of weird in the warm-up and I just kind of put that aside.”

“I knew I was training well coming into the competition so I just kind of focused on that, took that into the race and tried to race some of the lads beside me and I got the Irish Senior Record so I’m very happy with that.”
