'At her funeral we all wore blue ribbons in our hair' - Emotional scenes as Orla Comerford and Roisin Ni Riain win Paralympics bronze medals

"I would say with that one, that's a final swim," said a delighted Ní Riain. "I've been on the wrong side of the IM touches now for the last three years, so to be able to come out and finally get on the right side of a touch, I couldn't be happier. I'm delighted with that."

"So, I've been stuck on the same time and fourth (places) for a long time now, so it's nice to be able to crack a third. It was a pretty solid swim this morning (in the heat) and it was really just to be able to build on that swim."

"It was a high quality race where the second place time would also have beaten the old world record. But almost instantly, the Raheny Shamrock star wanted more."
