Coventry grabs backstroke gold for Zimbabwe
Kirsty Coventry has smashed the previous world record to take gold in the 200m backstroke at Beijing’s Water Cube today.

Two thirds into the swim, Coventry drew a body’s length ahead of world record time. She hit the wall in 2 minutes 5.25 seconds.
Japan’s Reiko Nakamura swam into third position to take bronze with a 2 minutes 6.23s time.
