Olympics: Mixed performances but ultimately disappointment for Irish swimmers

Darragh Greene made a disappointing start to his Olympic campaign with an underperformance in the heats of the 100m breaststroke on Saturday, the 25-year-old finishing well off the pace required for qualification when fourth in 1:00.30.

That was well off his personal best of 59.76 and left him in 29th place overall. Greene will be back in action in the heats of the 200m breaststroke on Tuesday.
