  Coventry qualified for her fourth Olympic Games in the 2012 Olympics in London, England. For the first time since 2000, Coventry did not win a medal. She finished third in her semifinal heat of the 200 m individual medley, just edging her into the final, where she placed 6th with a time of 2:11.13. In the 200 m backstroke, she finished outside medal contention in sixth place with a time of 2:08.18. She was designated the honor of carrying the Zimbabwean flag into the opening ceremony for the first time. Previously, Coventry won four gold and four silver medals in the 2015 All-Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique.
  
  Her fifth and final Olympic appearance came at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she repeated her 6th-place performance in the 200 metre backstroke from 2012, with a time of 2:08.80. She also finished 11th in the 100 metre backstroke. She retired after the 2016 Olympics, where she carried the Zimbabwean flag into the stadium during the opening ceremony for the second and final time. In her final African Games in 2015, in Brazzaville, the Republic of the Congo, Coventry won three golds and one bronze medals.
