McSharry wins Ireland's first medal at Paris Olympics

Mona McSharry has won Ireland's first medal of the Paris Olympics after finishing in third place in the women's 100m breaststroke.

McSharry finished third in a tight final, which was won by South Africa's Tatjana Smith and Tang Qianting was second for China.

The 23-year-old looked in shock as she checked the screen to see where had finished, as her quiet confidence about securing a medal in Paris became a reality.

There were huge cheers in the La Defense Arena from the Irish support as the swimmers continue to deliver in the pool.

World champion Daniel Wiffen, from Northern Ireland, is one of the favourites to win gold in the men's 800m freestyle final on Tuesday after qualifying fastest, while Ellen Walshe also reached a first Olympic final earlier on Monday.
