Insane 😮Olympic number 1 right here ❤

[@marksmyth5505]

Absolutely amazing,well done Daniel ✅

[@Hanamy7777]

Ireland has not had many world records in any sport. Olympics will be interesting.

[@RenzoColameoIrlanda]

For a Nation with less than 5 Million of population; not to bad... 🙂

[@KanyeWestDidNoWrong]

I dont think that Daniel will win any events

Wiffen is English. Born in England. Ireland stole him like they try to do in every sport.

[@anonymouse1593]

Look up their record for medals of honour or Victoria crosses

[@noeleen5250]

Fantastic...

[@adelabenitoherreros1650]

I am so glad Daniel wife won the gold!! A little country with a great champion. 🎉🎉

[@george-ev1dq]

He is English from Yorkshire

[@adelabenitoherreros1650]

He swam for Ireland, not for England.

[@george-ev1dq]

@@adelabenitoherreros1650 does that make him Irish?

[@adelabenitoherreros1650]

I was born in Italy, my parents are Spanish, I have lived in Spain since I was 1 year old, my culture is Spanish, I am Spanish. It is not the place where one is born that makes you of one country. Where does David feel from? Where did he grow up?. His accent and humor are Irish.

[@george-ev1dq]

@@adelabenitoherreros1650 LOL, his accent is English, he grew up, lives and works in the UK. You are Italian, get over it.

[@MrKernkraft4000]

I thought it was a typo when I saw two Irish "WIFF" on the screen - did not realize he had a brother that was just as world-class! Amazing! Also, his turns are spectacular.

[@adamwright1176]

Not to mention they are identical twins let alone brothers!

[@Damien-l9y]

3 SECONDS That is like USAIN BOLT running the 100m in 9 seconds

G'WAN THE IRISH 💚💚💚💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

LOL, he is English not Irish.

[@Miniinish]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@johnmc3862]

Wow!

[@FATMr_Ughess]

Born and bread in Armagh good lad.

[@TheLoungelizard1967]

I think he was born in Leeds and moved to Armagh with his family at 2 years of age. He said this in an interview. Amazing talent.

[@marksmyth5505]

​@@TheLoungelizard1967 yes your totally right,so glad his family moved over to Ireland 😁🍀

[@marksmyth5505]

Forgot to add,his mother is Irish 🍀

[@george-ev1dq]

Fantastic

[@cyrocortereal]

That was brilhant!!!!!

[@michaelrickard9890]

I dont want to dampen spirits but i hope it is a clean record.

[@JamesCM86]

He has said he is probably the most tested athlete in swimming simply because people are so suspicious of his rapid rise. He has nothing to hide

[@michaelrickard9890]

@@JamesCM86 I'll go with that. It was a fabulous victory, the last 20m it was something to behold, the 200m...

[@OG_2pence]

Looool he lapped them

Sport gotta have at least some variety right

[@christopherdevine2811]

Yet another athlete with some stupid hand gesture.
