The national 4x100m freestyle relay team were hampered by a slow final leg as South Africa’s Fina World Championships campaign got under way in earnest in Shanghai, China on Sunday.
The relay quartet finished sixth on the opening day of the swimming events in the pool, and Cameron van der Burgh showed the first real signs of a medal prospect in the men’s 100m breaststroke semifinals.
South Africa were only seventh fastest in qualifying for the freestyle relay final, but Graeme Moore gave them a great start, bursting off the blocks to settle in third after the first leg.
