“Thank goodness I’m not alone ! Actually, there’s a lot more to that if you look at the stats. It’s the first gold medal in 25 years for Tatjana in breaststroke, in the same event as the last one – the 200 breast. It’s the first world record in 22 years… it’s the first world record of the Games over here . It’s the first gold medal for South Africa – so she’s just full of firsts! She’s first all the way,” Heyns told SABC Sport.
“The last time was myself and Sarah Poewe . I thought that race was so competitive. Kaylene improved her time once again, she did a PB. Heyns said she first took it all in by staying in the stands for the medal ceremony before trying to find Schoenmaker, who was busy with media interviews and a press conference before going for her doping test.
