He also held an African record of 55.04 from the 2002 Telkom International Sprint Challenge that defeated Terence Parkin for a top finish and sliced off Brendon Dedekind's standard by 0.37 of a second.[2] During his sporting career, Verster trained full-time under his personal coach Alisdair Hatfield. Verster ascended to prominence in the global scene at the 1999 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Sydney, placing seventh each in the 100 m butterfly (54.28) and 200 m individual medley (2:04.24).[3][4] On that same year, at the All-Africa Games in Johannesburg, Verster established meet records to claim two golds each in the 200 m butterfly (2:04.69) and in the 200 m individual medley (2:04.10). In the 100 m butterfly, he was upstaged by teammate Kelly on a head-to-head race, ending up only with a silver in 54.75.[5] At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Verster built a monstrous program of four swimming events.[6][7] He posted FINA A-standards of 53.86 (100 m butterfly), 2:01.63 (200 m butterfly), and 2:03.11 (200 m individual medley) from the South African Championships in Johannesburg.[8][9][10] On the third day of the Games, Verster placed twenty-sixth in the 200 m butterfly. Swimming in heat three, he picked up a fourth seed by almost a full body length behind winner Vladan Marković of Yugoslavia in 2:00.90.[11][12] Two days later, in the 200 m individual medley, Verster finished twentieth in 2:03.64, nearly a small fraction of a second outside the semi-final field.[13] In his final individual event, 100 m butterfly, Verster posted a time of 53.95 from heat five, but missed again the semi-finals by 0.14 of a second with an eighteenth-place effort.[14][15] Verster also teamed up with Simon Thirsk, Brett Petersen, and Nicholas Folker in the 4 × 100 m medley relay. Swimming a butterfly leg in heat two, Verster recorded a split of 53.52, a national record, but the South Africans finished the race in fourth place and thirteenth overall with a final time of 3:42.44.[16] Verster also sought his entry bid for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, but finished fourth in the 100 m butterfly (54.82) at the South African Championships, handing over to his teammate Eugene Botes.[17] Shortly after the trials, Verster announced his retirement from swimming. He is currently working as a full-time coach for Saint Andrew's School for Girls in Johannesburg.[18] References1. ^{{cite sports-reference|Theo Verster|https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ve/theo-verster-1.html|7 June 2013}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Els|first=Mark|title=Verster fells Africa 100m record|url=http://www.iol.co.za/sport/more-sport/verster-fells-africa-100m-record-1.505723|work=Independent Online|date=4 January 2002|accessdate=7 June 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Thomas|first=Stephen|title=1999 Pan Pacific Championships: Day 6|url=http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/991.asp|work=Swimming World|date=27 August 1999|accessdate=7 June 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Thomas|first=Stephen|title=1999 Pan Pacific Championships: Day 7|url=http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/992.asp|work=Swimming World|date=28 August 1999|accessdate=7 June 2013}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Heyns cruises at All Africa Games|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/swimming/news/1999/09/12/heyns_allafrica/|work=Sports Illustrated|publisher=CNN|date=12 September 1999|accessdate=7 June 2013}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=South Africa Announces Olympic Squad|url=http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/1378.asp|work=Swimming World|date=11 April 2000|accessdate=2 June 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://archive.is/20130615050142/http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/1378.asp|archivedate=15 June 2013|df=dmy-all}} 7. ^{{cite news|last=Lemke|first=Gary|title=Olympic selection a triumph for wisdom|url=http://www.iol.co.za/sport/olympic-selection-a-triumph-for-wisdom-1.337328?|work=Independent Online|date=9 April 2000|accessdate=2 June 2013}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Swimming – Men's 100m Butterfly Startlist (Heat 5)|url=http://www.omegatiming.com/File/Download?id=000100060019000000FFFFFFFFFFFF00|format=PDF|work=Sydney 2000|publisher=Omega Timing|accessdate=23 April 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Swimming – Men's 200m Butterfly Startlist (Heat 3)|url=http://www.omegatiming.com/File/Download?id=00010006001C000000FFFFFFFFFFFF00|format=PDF|work=Sydney 2000|publisher=Omega Timing|accessdate=23 April 2013}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Swimming – Men's 200m Individual Medley Startlist (Heat 5)|url=http://www.omegatiming.com/File/Download?id=00010006001F000000FFFFFFFFFFFF00|format=PDF|work=Sydney 2000|publisher=Omega Timing|accessdate=23 April 2013}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Swimming – Men's 200m Butterfly Heat 3 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |format=PDF |work=Sydney 2000 |publisher=LA84 Foundation |page=217 |accessdate=23 April 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819181023/http://la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |archivedate=19 August 2011 |df= }} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Malchow sets Olympic record in 200 fly|url=http://www.canoe.ca/2000GamesSwimming/sep18_mal.html|publisher=Canoe.ca|date=18 September 2000|accessdate=28 May 2013}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Swimming – Men's 200m Individual Medley Heat 3 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |format=PDF |work=Sydney 2000 |publisher=LA84 Foundation |page=308 |accessdate=23 April 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819181023/http://la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |archivedate=19 August 2011 |df= }} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Swimming – Men's 100m Butterfly Heat 5 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |format=PDF |work=Sydney 2000 |publisher=LA84 Foundation |page=208 |accessdate=23 April 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819181023/http://la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |archivedate=19 August 2011 |df= }} 15. ^{{cite news|last=Lemke|first=Gary|title=Swimmers drown SA's medal chances|url=http://www.thepost.co.za/swimmers-drown-sa-s-medal-chances-1.342017#.UbF-e5xc17c|work=Post|date=21 September 2000|accessdate=2 June 2013}} 16. ^{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Swimming – Men's 4×100m Medley Relay Heat 2 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |format=PDF |work=Sydney 2000 |publisher=LA84 Foundation |page=347 |accessdate=23 April 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819181023/http://la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |archivedate=19 August 2011 |df= }} 17. ^{{cite news|last=Smith|first=Neville|title=South African Olympic Trials, Day 4: Neethling, Schoeman Swim 48s in the 100m Freestyle Semi-finals|url=http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/7169.asp|work=Swimming World|date=19 April 2004|accessdate=7 June 2013}} 18. ^{{cite news|title=Aquatic Centre|url=http://www.standrews.co.za/news/26/|publisher=St. Andrew's School for Girls|accessdate=7 June 2013}} External links
