Eindhoven - Paralympic swim star Natalie du Toit grabbed South Africa's second gold medal in as many days at the IPC World Swimming Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands on Monday.
In Sunday's opening day, Du Toit took Team SA's first gold when she won the 100m butterfly title (S9 category) in 1:08.30.
On Monday she went on to win the 200m Individual Medley final in 2:32.31.
But she wasn't done with that achievement as she took a bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke final (SB8) when she clocked 1:25.95 for a national record in this event.
Her achievements mean she has now won all three of South Africa's medals at the championships.
She was one of four South Africans involved in finals on Monday.
Best of the rest was Port Elizabeth's Kevin Paul who took fourth in the 200m Individual Medley final (S10) with a 2:15.61 national record.
Other SA finalists were Renette Bloem (seventh in the 100m breaststroke S11 category, 1:39.57) and Hendri Herbst (eighth in the 100m breaststroke S12 category, 1:29.49).
