This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to South African Olympic Gold Medallist Tatjana Schoenmaker, who won the gold medal and set the world record in the 200-meters breaststroke event at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

She shares her Olympic experience and journey to Gold. She emphasises faith, discipline, strong support systems and leading a balanced life as contributing factors, stating that “a happy swimmer is a fast swimmer”.
