Frustrating fourth for Roísín Ní Riain in 100m breaststroke final

This second fourth-place finish means the 19-year-old will return to Limerick with a silver and bronze.

No third medal for Roísín Ní Riain. No equalling of history. Instead, a second fourth of these Paralympic Games. And if her butterfly fourth last Thursday didn’t frustrate, this one surely will.

Ní Riain qualified third fastest for Thursday evening’s SB13 100m breaststroke final, and for a brief period around the 75-metre mark it was in that bronze medal position she sat, but a disappointing finish saw her touch notably adrift in fourth.
