Darragh Greene<\/strong> (100\/200 breaststroke), Shane Ryan<\/strong> (100 backstroke), Daniel Wiffen<\/strong> (800 freestyle) and Mona McSharry<\/strong> (100 breaststroke) are the quartet on the plane to Tokyo.<\/p>\n
There is also the possibility of at least one relay team making the trip with governing body FINA expected to announce the final Olympic relay rankings on Friday 4 June.<\/p>\n
Consideration times can also be posted in Dublin for the European Short-Course Championships<\/strong> in Kazan, Russia, in November and the World Short-Course Championships<\/strong> in Abu Dhabi the following month.<\/p>\n
Swim Ireland national performance director Jon Rudd<\/b>, said:<\/p>\n
“When the 2021 Olympic Nomination Policy was revised as part of the ongoing COVID-19 circumstances, we foresaw at that time that athletes within the 1.5% of an Olympic qualification standard would travel into Europe to find a meet of their choosing during June as their final attempt at Tokyo qualification.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
“With things as they currently are, we concluded that it was much safer in all regards for such athletes to make this attempt on home soil, avoiding international travel, whilst providing an additional qualification opportunity for those wishing to race in the international short course season at the end of this year.”<\/u><\/u><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
