Longford’s Darragh Greene misses out on a semi-final place in the Euro 100m Breaststroke

Longford’s Darragh Greene missed out on a place in the semi-finals of the 100m Breaststroke at the 2026 European Aquatics Championships in Paris on Monday morning despite swimming a season’s best time of 1:00.51.

Rising swimming star Jack Kelly, making his Ireland debut, was most impressive as he set a new 100m Breaststroke Irish Record of 59.27 in the heats, obliterating his previous best of 59.72 and Darragh Greene’s 2021 record of 59.76.

One of the standout performances on Tuesday morning came from Ireland's Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay team. Lottie Cullen, Darragh Greene, Jack Cassin and Grace Davison combined to clock 3:48.34, breaking the national record of 3:49.08 that had stood since 2021 and finishing eleventh overall.

Greene will be back in the Paris pool on Friday morning for the heats of the 50m Breaststroke.
