It's a beautiful day here in Paris, a marked contrast to Friday and Saturday last when the rain was unforgiving. And there definitely was a sense that all is well in the world for the Irish contingent after the morning session in the pool.
PARIS: France's David Aubry felt a wave of relief wash over him after he scraped through to the Olympics men's 800 metres freestyle final at La Defense Arena on Monday (Jul 29) in a brutal heats session where some of the favourites were eliminated.
Ireland's Daniel Wiffen posted the fastest time in the heats for the 800m freestyle on Monday, and the world champion now has his sights set on making history in Tuesday's final. Wiffen could become the first Irishman, and just the second Irish athlete ever, to claim Olympic swimming gold -- and his hopes were boosted with challenger Sam Short of Australia, considered the favourite by some analysts, failing to qualify. The 23-year-old Wiffen topped qualifying in 7:41.53, ahead of Tunisia's Ahmed Jaouadi.
