London – South Africa's new swimming sensation, Chad Le Clos, was back in the water on Wednesday, competing with his relay teammate Darian Townsend in the Olympic 200m individual medley heat in London.
Le Clos touched in third place in 1:59.45, which was good enough for a spot in the semi-finals while Townsend missed the cut, with his seventh placed 2:00.67, in one of the slower heats.
Suzaan van Biljon finished fourth in her 200m breastroke heat, setting a personal best of two minutes, 25.89 seconds (2:25.89).
Her ninth place standing overall sees her through to the semi-final later in the evening.
Darren Murray third in his 200m backstroke heat, in 2:00.01 but his overall placing was not good enough to make it through to the semis.
Both Van Biljon and Le Clos are in action again in the evening session where they compete in their respective semi-finals. – Sapa
