Meet Tatjana Smith, SA’s home-grown superstar athlete

SA’s home-grown global swimming champion Tatjana Smith was personally responsible for bringing home almost half the nation’s total medals won at the last two Olympic games, including both the golds. In this riveting interview, the just-retired 27-year-old reflects on a two-decade journey of commitment and focus, reflecting on what it takes to compete against and beat the best in the world. She shares the passion, patriotism, discipline, faith and dreams that drive her - and some uncanny co-incidences between the places of her triumphs and those of brother-in-law, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi. Tatjana and her husband Joel Smith spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
