The 22-year-old said defeat has left him with a ‘vengeance’ to chase gold at the Paris Olympics next year.
DANIEL WIFFEN UNDERLINED his ambition to win gold at the Paris Olympics next year after a fourth-placed finish in a stacked 1500m freestyle final at the World Swimming Championships in Japan this afternoon.
Wiffen thus finished fourth – punished for a slightly slow start – in a time of 14:43.01, his second-fastest time ever but nine seconds outside personal best, set at an event in Sweden in April. His PB would have been good enough to take bronze today.
