It’s  gold  as  Le  Clos  reigns  supreme  and  targets  more    

By  Gary  Lemke  

Chad   le   Clos   has   made   no   secret   of   the   fact   that   he   has   targeted   a   record   seven  medals   from   these   Commonwealth   Games   and   after   three   finals   in   Glasgow   he  already  has  a  full  house.  

Le   Clos   is   not   a   superstar   by   South   African   standards   only.   He’s   a   global  phenomenon.   ‘I’d   like   to  break   [Australian]   Ian  Thorpe’s   record  of   six  medals   in  a  Games.  I  now  have  three,  have  swum  two  personal  best  times  in  the  process  and  set  a  Games  record.

Highlights  

Rugby  Sevens  

South  Africa  opened  their  campaign  with  a  36-­‐0  victory  over  Trinidad  and  Tobago  in  their  first  pool  match.  They  then  went  on  to  whitewash  the  Cook  Islands  50-­‐0  in  their  second  match  and  20-­‐0  in  their  third  match  with  Kenya.
