A day in the life at the University of Pretoria. 09 November 2008

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria”, Tukkie swimmer Cameron van den Burgh shattered another world record.

The article in the University of Pretoria November news reported that the day after his 50m World Record, Cameron took to the pool again in the World Series World Cup in Moscow. This time in the 100m Breaststroke. Cameron blitzed the 4 laps of the pool in 56.88sec to become the first person to go under the 57sec mark. Not only that, he also was faster than the previous World Record of Ed Moses which stood at 57.47sec.
