The exceptional achievement of rida Osman (EGY) were the only women African Waddell and Schoenmaker swimmers to be on the podium in a world championship (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 after 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

All participation records broken in this and a harvest of 81 medals: 46 gold, 22 silver and 13 edition bronze. The results remain impressive even if it is not as good as during the previous edition of Cairo 2017 with 109 medals: 52 gold, 34 silver and 23 After a very long absence in the organization of bronze. It must be said that Egypt was brilliant with 71 medals: 20 gold, 32 silver and 19 bronze, a result more balanced than that of 2017 where it won 65 medals: 14 gold, 29 silver and 22 bronze. If in 2017, South Africa largely dominated the two categories 13-14 years and 15-16 years, this was not the case in Tunis with the breakthrough of young Egyptian swimmers (13-14 years) who won the first place for both girls and boys with a record of 34 medals including 15 in gold against 25 medals for South Africa including 12 in gold. In the 15-16 age group, it was South Africa’s turn to finish on the top of the table with 56 medals, of which 34 were gold, more than 80% of the titles at stake (42) far ahead of Egypt with 35 medals, of Kirabo Namutebi (UGA) in center , Lilia Midouni which only 5 gold.

Africa Aquatics Water Polo - 1st African Championship U16 News Cairo (EGY) 24-27 April 2019

Very tight victory for Egypt

In accordance to the recommendations of the world water polo conference organized by FINA from 26 to 28 April 2018 in Budapest (HUN) as part of the water polo development plan, the Egyp- tian federation, under the supervision of CANA, hosted the 1st African U16 Championships. The tournament kept all its promises and revealed future international stars. The EGY-RSA final was very balanced and tight. It ended with a close victory for the Egyptians 5/4 while Zimbabwe thwarted the Egypt vs South Africa in Final of Under16 Champion- forecasts by beating Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. It ships should be noted that FINA was supposed to organ- ize the 1st world U16 championship from July 5 to 12, 2020 in Volos / Larissa (GRE) but the event was canceled due to the Covid-19.

Africa 30th Summer Universiade in Naples (ITA) Aquatics News July 5-10, 2019

South Africa in the limelight

A small delegation of 27 swimmers from four nations: RSA, UGA, EGY and KEN represented the continent in Naples at the 30th edition of the summer Universiade which has always been considered as the world university championships. The results were remarkable for the South African team (7 swimmers) for finishing at 4th place in the final ranking table with 6 medals: 5 gold and 1 silver. Tatjana Schoenmaker (100m breaststroke in 1: 06.42 and 200m breaststroke in 2:22.92), Tayla Lovemore (50m butterfly in 26.25 and 100m butterfly in 58.74) and Zane Waddell (50m backstroke in 24.48) were superb winners while the 2018 youth Olympic champion Michael Hoolie was remarkable on 50m breaststroke (27.19). It should be noted that Schoenmaker broke the African 100m breaststroke Tatjana Schoenmaker and Penny Heyns record in 1: 06.32 in the semifinals while fellow compatriot Kaylene Corbett finished 4th, narrowly missing the 200m breaststroke podium.

Africa Aquatics Focus on Ali Gharbi News A Pillar of Tunisian Swimming

On 12th December, 2009, Ali Gharbi (54) passed away leaving behind a precious heritage to Tunisian and continental sport. He was the best African swimmer of the 70s but especially the first Arab and Tunisian swimmer to win the gold medal at the Algiers Mediterranean Games, on the 1st Septem- ber, 1975. For North African countries, the Medi- terranean Games are still considered as a major international event. Before the 1st September, 1975, only sports like boxing and athletics had the privilege of bringing Mediterranean titles to Tunisia. Thanks to Ali Gharbi swimming has become the third national sport being able to win gold in a Mediterranean event that brings together the elite of nations like France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Turkey. The performance achieved by Ali Gharbi in Algiers has been enormous and constitutes the greatest achievement of his career. The major French daily sports newspaper l`Equipe did not miss the occa- sion in its edition of the 2nd September, 1975 to highlight the extraordinary performance of Ali Gharbi.

He also He was discovered for the first time by an Ameri- won 64 national titles in long course and 64 medals can couple, the Anderssons, who happened to be in internationally recognized competitions: 52 gold, in Tunis in the 70s and was later under the supervi- 9 silver and 3 bronze. His last national record was sion of the late Fredj Ben Saad and Abdelkader established on February 14, 1982 at the El Menzah Achour as well as Mhamed Mahjoub and more par- (25m pool) swimming pool where he became the ticularly Moncef Cherif who led him to the Olym- first Tunisian swimmer to swim under 53 seconds pic games 1976 in Montreal, the 1978 world cham- on 100m FS (52.74). This pillar of national sport pionships in Berlin, the 1975 and 1979 Mediterra- will be remembered for long not only for his sport- nean games as well as the 1977 and 1978 African ing background but also for his human qualities and games and championships. His first and only partici- his generosity which allowed him to be one of our pation in the 1976 Montreal Olympics was reduced favorite sportsmen of the Tunisians. to the 200m FS event due to the boycott by a great number of African countries who were against the participation of New Zealand who chal- lenged the IOC by authorizing their rugby team to tour South Africa, a country which was at the time universally condemned and excluded from the Olympic Games because of its policy of racial seg- regation.

Ali Gharbi could not take part in his favorite event the 400m FS but he ranked 24th out of 55 partici- pants in 200m FS with a new African record of 1:55.82, this performance remained on the record table for 25 years until Oussama Mellouli broke it during the 2001 Mediterranean Games.
