Team SA at Paris Olympics: Swimmers, MTB star Alan Hatherly gun for medals

South Africa’s eyes will be focused on the pool at the Paris Olympic Games on Monday, with Team SA’s Tatjana Smith and Pieter Coetze competing in the finals of their respective events.

Smith was the fastest qualifier in the 100m breaststroke and will be looking to go one better after winning the silver medal in the event in Tokyo in 2021.

Coetze finished joint-second in the semi-final of the 100m backtroke, bettering the African record he set at the SA championships in Gqeberha earlier this year.
