Sligo swimmer Mona McSharry has won a bronze medal in the final of the women's 50 metres breaststroke at the European Shortcourse Swimming Championships in Glasgow.
Swimming from lane 8, McSharry set a new Irish senior record of 29.87 to claim third - and a podium finish.
It's her first international medal as a senior swimmer.
McSharry, who trains out of the Marlins Swimming Club in Ballyshannon, was in fourth position at the halfway stage, but produced a superb final 25 metres to finish on the podium.
