Lara vs Tatjana in all-SA battle for breaststroke dominance (TimesLIVE)

Team SA is primed to scoop a gold-silver at the Commonwealth Games on Tuesday night in what could be a titanic battle in the women's 100m breaststroke ...

Teenager Van Niekerk is the 50m champion while Schoenmaker, 25, retained her 200m title, setting up a mouth-watering clash over 100m. But it is Van Niekerk who set the pace in both the heats and the semifinals on Monday. She won the second semifinal in 1:05.96 while Schoenmaker took the other eliminator in 1:06.43. The winner will land a breaststroke double — but will it be the schoolkid, or will veteran Schoenmaker repeat her 100m-200m double from Gold Coast 2018.

I was just very excited to race and I think that’s something that I’ve lost over the years so I’m slowly getting it back,” said Gallagher afterwards. Last night was a late night – the sessions are quite late in the evening so I’m glad to get it done now so I can go and rest. And today I just wanted to make the final, so job done.” “It was an incredible experience, I loved having Erin in the lane right next to me… He won in 24.81 to go through to Monday’s final as the fastest qualifier. “It was good. We’re so proud to wear the green and gold but being able to sing that anthem together, we just felt united with our country in that moment,” she added. “I was stinging in the last 50m. That’s what I was planning on coming to do.” But fair play to Lewis, he broke the national record this morning and again tonight – he had a great race. It’s a season’s best, so I’m really happy with that. “It’s obviously amazing,” said a thrilled Schoenmaker afterwards.
