Kirsty wins two titles

College Station in Texas, United States, at the weekend.
According to reports from Texas, Coventry made her return to competitive swimming as a Longhorn with a victory in the women’s 400m freestyle event when she clocked a 4:18.20. The 28-year-old two-time Olympic champion returned the following night with a 4:42.84 to win the women’s 400m individual medley.
Coventry recently returned to Texas, her former base in the United States, for her final preparations for this year’s London Olympic Games, which are set to run from July 27 to August 12.
Before moving to Texas at the beginning of the year, Coventry had temporarily pitched her tent in the French Principality of Monaco where she was a guest of Zimbabwe-born Charlene Wittstock, now the Princess of Monaco, since September last year.
After staying in Monaco for close to four months, Coventry decided to return to Texas in the United States at the beginning of this year to reunite with the coach who helped her to win seven Olympic Games medals – American Kim Brackin.
In fact, Coventry started her final preparations for the London Games in Durban, South Africa, towards the end of January this year where she competed at Swimming South Africa’s international invitational meet.
And the sprightly Zimbabwean capped a memorable outing at this event when she was named the Best Female Performer of the Meet.
This came after Coventry won four events — the women’s 200m individual medley and the 50m, 100m and 200m backstroke — during the two-day meet in which she also came second in the 100m freestyle.
