It's September 10th. Welcome in. This is Belfast News today, where local news meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Roweiza Neirine is holding onto her European title in the 100-meter backstroke as 13 category. She absolutely dominated the race, finishing nearly three seconds ahead of the competition. Neirine mentioned she was hoping for a good swim, but even she was surprised by how fast she went, setting a new personal best. Meanwhile, dear Belfast Brady snagged another silver medal, this time in the 50-meter butterfly, S6. She was neck and neck with her Italian competitor, missing out on gold by just 3,300s of a second. Brady and Neirine are clearly pushing each other, both making it to the podium again this week. It's always inspiring to hear about these athletes' journeys. Neirine gave a shout out to her coaches in physio, saying she wouldn't be there without their hard work. Brady also highlighted the motivation she gets from her teammate, showing the strong bond within the Irish team. Elsewhere, CEO Monique Bradai finished 6th in the 100-meter backstroke as 7.

While she was a bit disappointed with the result, having her family there to cheer her on meant the world. Dylan Prenderville also made his debut in the 50-meter butterfly final, finishing Ace and feeling good about his performance after a tough week. The world-pair of swimming European championships are winding down, and Eirlin has definitely made its mark. With 6 swimmers competing on the penultimate day, they're still more to look forward to from this talented squad.
