Wiffen gave notice of his intentions to break a world record in front of a home crowd when appearing on The Late Late Show earlier this year. He will swim in the 400m free as well as the two longer distances at the National Aquatic Centre in Abbotstown. “Yeah, it's still looking good,” he said on Wednesday. “I've actually been training really well since I came back after my break. It took me a while to get back into it but I didn't seem to lose much fitness so I'm still aiming for that goal. “I can't tell you which event it is going to be in because I think it could be quite close in all three I'm doing but we'll see.” Wiffen swam the 10k Open Water event in Paris after winning his two medals but he has decided to ditch that in favour of the 400m in the next Olympics, in Los Angeles, in 2028 where more medals are very much on the agenda. He has never been shy about declaring his grand ambitions publicly. This latest declaration is not to motivate himself but more a means of drumming up interest in Irish swimming and the championships that will take place between April 12-16. That would equate to added pressure for some. Not for Wiffen. “No, not really. If I say I'll go and get it and I miss it by 0.2 [seconds], I'll just get it the next time. I'm 23 years old. I've got at least another two Olympics to go and I'm sure I'm not going to break just one world record in my lifetime, I'm going to try for multiple.” Read the full interview with Daniel Wiffen in Thursday’s Irish Examiner and online at irishexaminer.ie/sport
