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

[@johnmc3862]

Wow!

[@JorgeRzezak]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@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!

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]
