Heyns record
JOHANNESBURG: Penny Heyns overcame high altitude, cold water and what she called “pathetic turns” to break the women’s 100 metres breaststroke short-course world record on Sunday.
Heyns clocked one minute 5.57 seconds on the final day of the South African short-course championships to better the mark of 1:05.70set by Samantha Riley of Australia in December 1995.
It is the ninth world record the South African has set in the past six weeks but her first in a short-course (25-metre) pool.
