The swimmers have finished competing at the Tokyo Olympics. This is how Team SA fared across the codes on Saturday.

ATHLETICS
Women’s 400m hurdles, heats: Wenda Nel is through to the semi-finals after finishing 3rd in her heat in 56.06sec. The 1st 4 in each heat qualified. Her time placed her 27th on the overall time sheets. “It was not a smooth race but I enjoyed it, I might have been a bit lucky to get a slower heat, but I definitely have more to show and more to give. I’m about a second off my season’s best so I can go quicker next round. Hopefully I’ll dip under that 56sec mark.”

GOLF
Men’s competition, 3rd round: Both Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Garrick Higgo are on the course in 3rd round action. Bezuidenhout is 2-under for today after 16 holes (-6 overall) and Higgo is 1-under after 12 holes.  The leaders are on 12-under
