Team SA is keeping the South African flag flying high at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, bagging six medals on Monday, including one gold, taking Team SA’s total tally to 12.
South African gymnast Caitlin Rooskrantz made history as she captured bronze in the women’s uneven bars final at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Rooskrantz started off strong as she scored 13.433 and sealed South Africa’s first bronze on the uneven bars in Commonwealth Games history.
Rooskrantz became only the second female SA gymnast to medal at the Commonwealth Games after Jennifer Khwela who won silver at the 2010 Delhi Games.

Swimmers Erin Gallagher and Pieter Coetzé added two silvers to Team SA’s rich haul at Birmingham 2022 on Monday, with disabled competitor Christian Sadie adding a bronze.
Coetzé, who won the 100m backstroke title at the weekend, had to settle for second spot in the 50m backstroke, unable to catch up on New Zealander Andrew Jeffcoat’s lightning start.
