CAPE TOWN - TEAM South Africa will have two ladies in the 200 metres breaststroke final after Tatjana Schoenmaker and Kaylene Corbett surged to victory in their respective semi-finals on Thursday.
The 22-year-old South African was again the quickest in the last lap, making up nearly half-a-second on King to win in 2:22.08 – another new personal best after achieving the same milestone in her heat. She got close to the world record of 2:19.11 again, but didn’t quite get her last stroke right as she reached out for the wall. That meant she was also shy of her Olympic record of 2:19.16 that she set in the heat.
