Coventry has been faster this year, with a 1:00.09 from the world championships last month. She also missed her meet record of 1:00.86 from 2011. Prinsloo was second in 1:02.53. Teammate <strong>Jessica Ashley-Cooper<\/strong> earned another medal in Brazzaville with a 1:03.32 for third.<\/p>\n<p>Le Clos, swimming only the sprint butterfly at the meet, claimed the 50 fly in 23.51. It beat the meet record of 23.57 by <strong>Jason Dunford<\/strong>, but is slower than his best time of the year, a 23.23 from the Paris stop of the FINA World Cup. Egypt took silver and bronze in the race with <strong>Omar Eissa<\/strong> placing second with a national record 24.18 and <strong>Ahmed Bahgat<\/strong> third with a 24.94.<\/p>\n<p>Prinsloo\u2019s 100 back came after she had won gold in the 400 free final with a 4:18.86. Algeria\u2019s <strong>Majda Chebaraka<\/strong> gave Prinsloo a race, placing second with a 4:19.24. South Africa\u2019s <strong>Marlies Ross<\/strong> took the bronze with a 4:19.43.<\/p>\n<p>In a close race to the finish of the men\u2019s 100 freestyle, <strong>Clayton Jimmie<\/strong> took the gold medal with a 49.93 over the 49.97 swum by Egypt\u2019s <strong>Mohamed Samy<\/strong>. That\u2019s a national record for Samy, eclipsing his 50.05 from this past April. <strong>Caydon Muller<\/strong> was third with a 50.28. Notably, <strong>Bradley Vincent<\/strong> of Maritius broke his national record of 50.52 with a 50.39 for fourth place.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa went 1-2 in the men\u2019s 200 backstroke, as <strong>Martin Bindell<\/strong> and <strong>Richard Ellis<\/strong> touched in times of 2:02.23 and 2:02.32, respectively. Well back in third was Egypt\u2019s <strong>Mohamed Khaled<\/strong> with a 2:04.35.<\/p>\n<p>The top four finishers in the women\u2019s 50 breaststroke swam under 33 seconds. <strong>Tatjana Schoenmaker<\/strong> won gold with a 32.49, while Egypt\u2019s <strong>Maii Atif<\/strong> took the silver medal with a 32.58. <strong>Daniela Lindemeier<\/strong> of Namibia won bronze with a 32.69. <strong>Kelly Gunnell<\/strong> of South Africa just missed being on the medal podium with a 32.85 for fourth place.<\/p>\n<p>The South Africans won both relays to conclude the session, taking the women\u2019s 400 free relay with a 3:49.04 and the men\u2019s 800 free relay in 7:18.62. Egypt managed to snag a national record in the women\u2019s 400 free relay with a 3:50.30 for second place, breaking the mark by seven tenths of a second. The Egyptian men demolished the national record of 7:31.60 in the 800 free relay with a 7:20.65 that won the silver medal.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/results\/2015-all-africa-games-day-3-day-3\/international-elite\/2015\/September\/8\">2015 All-Africa Games, Day 3 &#8211; Results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zimbabwe\u2019s Kirsty Coventry kept the South Africans from winning every swimming event on the third day of competition at the All-Africa Games.
