Daniel Wiffen has won Gold in the men’s 800 freestyle final at Paris 2024 in an Olympic record time.
He was second going into the final 150m of the race, but managed to reel in Italy’s Gregorio Paltrinieri before triumphing in a time of 7:38.19.
The Armagh man’s Gold is the second medal in swimming events for Ireland at Paris 2024 following Mona McSharry’s bronze medal last night at the La Defense Arena in the west of the French capital.
