Mixed fortunes for local competitors on the fifth day of action at the Paris Olympics.
Tatjana Smith cruised into the final of the women's 200m breaststroke last night, as she prepared to go in search of her second gold medal of the Paris Olympics this evening.
There was also success on day five of the Games for Smith's compatriots, Kaylene Corbett and Pieter Coetze, who progressed to medal contests in the pool.
Smith, who won gold in the 100m breaststroke on Monday, was second fastest overall in the penultimate round of the 200m event, her specialist stroke, last night.
