With just 100 days to go until the start of the Olympic Games in Paris, some of Northern Ireland’s finest athletes are preparing to showcase their talents on the grandest stage in sport.
Daniel Wiffen continues to break new ground and records for Irish swimming. The Magheralin distance star won three golds and broke a world record at the European Short Course Championships just before Christmas but then went on to become the first World Long Course medalist from Ireland by claiming gold in both the 800m and 1500m freestyle in February.
Of course as the Ards native found out in Tokyo three years ago, it only takes a small slip and your dream can be cruelly snatched away but on his best day there are few who can match him. Belfast’s Rebecca Shorten is a former world champion and strokes the highly fancied Great Britain’s women’s four. They showed early season promise last weekend by winning the first World Cup regatta of the season.
Then there is Amy Broadhurst who now hopes to qualify for Great Britain after falling out with Irish boxing. If she succeeds there is the prospect somewhere down the line of a mouthwatering fight in Paris against defending Irish Olympic champion Kellie Harrington.
