Olympic champion Daniel Wiffen continued his good form, taking the 400m freestyle title to add to the 800m he won on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He swam a Championship record and World Championships qualification time of 3:46.87 and now looks forward to the 1500m freestyle on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“It was tough, coming into this I thought I was going to be quite fast in the 400m,” admitted Wiffen.<\/p>\n
“I’m disappointed, to be honest. I’ve got to drop seven seconds to be within the top of the world for the LA Olympics.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s pretty doable. I’m just going to get back training, I think that’s what it’s showing me, in this racing I’m not as fit as I thought.”<\/p>\n
Eighteen-year-old John Shortt from Galway continued his incredible week with an outstanding swim in the 200m backstroke semi-final. <\/p>\n
