Kirsty Conventry Through To The Rio 2016 Olympic Games

This week has been a great one for Zimbabwean sports. After the Chevrons beat New Zealand’s Black Caps on Sunday, Kirsty Coventry also qualified for the much anticipated Rio 2016 Olympics Games.

We couldn’t be more proud of the two time Olympic champion considering she’s been at it for more than a decade. The Zimbabwean gold medalist took to social media to share the exciting news. “Made it through to semi-finals tonight and got the Olympic qualifying time in 100m backstroke. I’m going to Rio!” Kirsty shared on Instagram.

The Rio 2016 Olimpic Games will be Kirsty’s 5th time taking part in the Olympic Games. Coventry seems pumped and ready to collect another trophy and we are all right behind her with support.

“I came 10th in the 100m Backstroke. My time was 1.00.09, a huge improvement over the last few months – and I will not stop improving!” She posted on Facebook.

We are already proud of you for representing us so well, continue to shine!
