.TRSchoenmaker has just won an Olympic gold medal and set a new world record, but her coach believes she can go even faster leading up to the 2024 Games. Tokyo2020 Olympics TeamSA By ashfakmohamed IOLSport
While Schoenmaker said that her achievement has not sunk in yet, her coach Meiring is already thinking about the next challenge.
“She can go faster. I will die – as long as she is with me – to try and make her faster. I expected her to be fast. We do a lot of race simulation work. She was swimming the same programmes that she did before the national trials, so she could compare and we could compare where she was, compared to four months ago,” Meiring said.
“She was faster – she saw it, I saw it. We never spoke about it, because we know it. It was about on the day, whether she could put it all together, and she did.”After setting the WORLD RECORD and winning gold in the women’s 200m breaststroke, South Africa’s Tatjana Schoenmaker is embraced by her teammate Kaylene Corbett as well as USA’s Lilly King and Annie Lazor.
