🥇 BEVIN REYNOLDS CLAIMS WORLD FREEDIVING TITLE IN BUDAPEST 🌊 Most people have never heard of freediving. Fewer still know that South Africa has just crowned a world champion in the sport. But that’s exactly what happened in Budapest two weeks ago when Bevin Reynolds claimed the overall women’s title at the World Apnea 2026 Pool Championships, rewriting the continental record books in the process. This wasn’t a coronation. It was a comeback. Reynolds entered the final day of competition trailing by 6.6 points. Then she swam 256 metres in a single breath—a new African record in Dynamic Apnea—and won by over twenty points. The margin tells you everything about the calibre of her performance and the completeness of her breakthrough. 👉🎙️ FULL STORY ON JUSTPLAINSPORT .COM #JustPlainSport #BevinReynolds #freediving

🇿🇦 AIMEE CANNY SHATTERS TWO SOUTH AFRICAN RECORDS IN ONE NIGHT IN INDIANAPOLIS 🌊 Aimee Canny touched the wall in Indianapolis on Wednesday morning and looked up at a time she already knew by heart. 1:56.59. Her own African record in the 200m freestyle, broken for the third time, the second time in two months alone. It barely registered as news anymore. What she did with it that evening did. Hours later, with that brand new record still hers to defend in the final, Canny scratched the race. She walked away from an event she had just claimed the right to dominate, choosing instead to chase a different kind of history in the 200m individual medley... 👉🎙️ FULL STORY ON JUSTPLAINSPORT .COM #JustPlainSport #AimeeCanny #Swimming
