History-maker Bethany Firth revelled in defying the pressure to complete her full set of major golds on a fantastic night for Northern Ireland that produced two medals in the pool. Firth, 26, was in full control as she stormed to the women’s S14 200m freestyle title to add Commonwealth glory to the Paralympic, world and European golds she already has in her extensive collection. We have such a great team here from Northern Ireland. “I was under so much pressure as this would give me the full collection, I have Paralympic, world and European gold. I can finally enjoy some time off.”Firth completed her set of medals and Wiffen ensured Northern Ireland did the same as a stunning swim made his dreams come true.
