Swimming sensation, Donata Katai, failed on Sunday to reach the semi-finals of the 100 meter backstroke despite recording a personal best and coming first in her heat at the Aquatics Center in Tokyo, Japan.
Despite this setback, she was happy to be among the best swimmers in the world.
“I am really happy to be here.
“I think I did justice to the training I did over the years.
“With the pressure here in Tokyo, I think I did my best,” she said during an interview.
Meanwhile, another Zimbabwean, rower Peter Purcell Gilpin, also failed to make it to the top two categories after coming sixth in his last heat.
The other three sportspersons representing Zimbabwe in the games are Scott Vincent (golf), Ngoni Makusha (100 meter dash) and Wetzlar.
