It\u2019s just a tenth off her national record from 2017 and an Olympic B cut for the Paris Games.<\/p>\n<p>Khalafalla, vying for his third Olympics, went 22.02, within .08 of his national mark. His time is likewise a B cut.<\/p>\n<p>Those times were among seven meet records and three Olympic B cuts set in the Olympic qualifier in Accra. The other B cut went to <strong>Clayton Jimmie<\/strong> of South Africa, who won the 100 freestyle in 46.29, which sets him up nicely for his nation\u2019s qualification meet.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa won 17 goals and 46 total medals to tip Egypt by one gold and 11 total medals. Algeria was second with seven golds and 23 total medals, the only other country with multiple golds or double-digit medals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/results.accra2023ag.com\/wrs\/eng\/zz\/engzz_swimming-daily-competition-schedule.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">African Games Results<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>African Games Medal Standings<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medal Standings (g-s-b\u2014t)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>South Africa 17-16-13\u201446<\/li>\n<li>Egypt 16-15-4\u201435<\/li>\n<li>Algeria 7-6-10\u201423<\/li>\n<li>Namibia 1-2-2\u20145<\/li>\n<li>Zimbabwe 1-1-2\u20144<\/li>\n<li>Mauritius 1-0-0\u20141<\/li>\n<li>Ghana 0-1-1\u20142<\/li>\n<li>Senegal 0-0-3\u20143<\/li>\n<li>Botswana 0-0-2\u20142<\/li>\n<li>Zambia 0-0-2\u20142<\/li>\n<li>Angola 0-0-1\u20141<\/li>\n<li>Nigeria 0-0-1\u20141<\/li>\n<li>Uganda 0-0-1\u20141<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Osman led all women with eight total medals, four gold.
