ZIMBABWE’s Kirsty Coventry won the women’s 200m medley with an African record of 2min 10.08sec yesterday as the Missouri Grand Prix long course swimming meeting concluded.
Olympic gold medallist Coventry, who broke a 16-year-old world record in winning the 200m backstroke on Saturday, defeated American Katie Hoff (2:10.23) in the 200m individual medley.
Coventry also won the 100m backstroke as American Natalie Coughlin scratched from the final one day after shattering her own world record in the heats.
Coughlin’s preliminary time on Sunday of 59.21 sliced more than two-tenths of a second off her own previous world record of 59.44.
With Coughlin out, Coventry came within three-hundredths of Coughlin’s previous world mark with a winning time of 59.47 — underscoring her status as the second-fastest swimmer in the event. Haley McGregory was second in 1:00.22.
