Page 2 Africa Aquatics Aquatics - 18th World Championships News July 12-28, 2019 in Gwangju (KOR) The exceptional achievement of rida Osman (EGY) were the only women African Waddell and Schoenmaker swimmers to be on the podium in a world champi- onship (50m). Once more, Osman was brilliant in Gwangju as she was in Budapest 2017 by winning each time the bronze medal on 50m butterfly. It was on the 28th July, the last day of the world championships that African swimming had a memo- rable day with the surprise world title won by Zane Waddell (21) on 50m backstroke in 24.43, the best world performance of the season. 12 years later, Waddell walked in the footsteps of his compatriot, the excellent Gerhard Zandberg, crowned world champion in the same distance on the 1st April 2007 in Melbourne. Waddell also becomes the 7th Afri- can swimmer to win a world title in a 50m pool af- ter his compatriots Le Clos, Schoeman, Van Der Burgh, Zandberg, Coventry (ZIM) and Mellouli Tatjana Schoenmaker (RSA) (TUN). 224 athletes from 44 nations (record) participated in the world aquatics championships held in Gwangju (KOR). South Africa and Egypt performed as expected and won 5 medals: 1 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze in addition to two places in finals and four places in semi-finals (swimming and diving). The 18th edition of the World Championships (50m) has once again confirmed the constant pres- ence of the African continent on the podiums since July 23, 2001 in Fukuoka (JPN) with the first African medal in history won by Roland Schoeman on 50m FS. Africa has won a total of 53 medals in world championships (50m) from 1973 to 2019: 18 gold, 13 silver and 22 bronze with the lion's share going Zane Waddell (RSA) to South Africa (62.26%) ahead of Zimbabwe (16.98%), Tunisia (15.09%) and Egypt (5.66%).

    ICON The Perfect Stroke Olympian swimmer Cameron van der Burgh seems to have found the celebrity sportsman’s sweet spot; he is a savvy athlete who knows the art of a long-distance career. Words KATHY MALHERBE ‘TO BE AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION,’ says Cameron van der Burgh, ‘you train smart. Further isn’t better.’ Who are we to argue? Certainly not with a man who won a gold medal in the 100m breaststroke at the 2012 Summer Olympics and, since then, a substantial cluster of world championship titles. He remains laser-focused and trains six and a half hours a day. This includes a 5km swim mornings and afternoons, plus strength training and stretching routines. Sunday, his ‘day of rest’, is usually single-track mountain biking with mates. In ‘downtime’, he plays the stock market: commodities, futures, EPS and PE ratios roll off his tongue as he chats over lunch, and between training sessions he keeps his eye on the top 40 stocks as closely as the swimmer one step down on the podium from him. Cameron says he finds the sessions in the pool ‘relaxing’. ‘I can plan my day, think about what needs to be done and generally gather my thoughts.’ Between his financial future and keeping up fitness levels, he also manages the perfect metrosexual look – enough to earn him With a world-class the title of SA Style Icon in 2012. performance in the How he got this far is impressive, given a slightly unpromising finals of the FINA start to his academic path. There are dozens of examples of World Championship children who were diagnosed as hyperactive and became super in Kazan, Russia, successful, starting Fortune 500 companies, earning top credits last month, Cameron in movies and winning the Super Bowl.

It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.
