The 2023 McCullagh International wrapped up from Bangor tonight with Eoin Corby wrangling up double gold.
The 21-year-old Limrick swimmer first topped the men’s 50m breast podium, posting a time of 28.45 before also taking the 200m IM victory in a mark of 2:07.66.
For the women’s 200m IM, it was Ellen Walshe who scored the top time, with the University of Tennessee athlete putting up a performance of 2:12.48. That erases her previous season-best of 2:14.21 logged at the Lisbon International meet earlier this month and fell within striking distance of her own personal best of 2:12.02 produced in Dublin nearly 2 years ago.
Walshe’s gold medal-worthy effort tonight now ranks the 22-year-old 6th in the world this season.

She going to back to Tennessee in the future?
Fantastic to see Ellen getting back to her good form. Keep up the great work in Templeogue Swim Club!
Can someone explain how/why this comment gets a ‘-‘ feedback?
I can’t, because I didn’t give it one.
But here’s some hypotheticals:
-Georgia fans who don’t like her because she swims for Tennessee
-Tennessee fans who don’t like her because she didn’t swim for Tennessee
-Northern Irishpeople
-Coaches of the rival club
-People sad that she might not return to NCAA swimming
-Trolls
-Whoever Ireland’s next-best swimmer in her events is
-People who can’t figure out how to pronounce Templeogue
-Whoever used to coach her
-People who meant to downvote another comment but misclicked and didn’t know that they can undo their downvotes
-Brexiteers
