Olympic champ Daniel Wiffen may swap California training base for Dublin

Ireland’s Olympic champion Daniel Wiffen has said that he will quit his new training base in California and likely return to Dublin if he does not post the times he is looking for at this month’s Irish Open in Bangor.

The 24-year old, never one to disguise his true thoughts in the public sphere, made the switch from his long-time base in Loughborough University in the UK to Cal Berkeley, where his twin brother Nathan also swims, last year.
