LONDON: Natalie du Toit claimed her 12th Paralympic swimming gold at the London 2012 Games on Tuesday as China's Xu Qing said a lucky shark tattoo had helped him break another world record in the pool.
Du Toit won the women's 400m S9 freestyle at the Aquatics Centre, the 28-year-old South African taking her 12th career gold in a time of 4:30.18. She was one of several stars who successfully defended their Beijing 2008 golds on a busy night in the pool, including Xu, Mirjam de Koning-Peper of the Netherlands, Britain's Heather Frederiksen and Konstantin Lisenkov of Russia.
