We are heading for one heck of a showdown here. Phelps VS Le Clos part 2:

 

2 fastest qualifers in first round heats 100m butterfly.

Chad Le Clos continued his fine form in the pool when he posted the fastest semi-final qualifying time in the men's 100m butterfly heats at the Olympic Games on Thursday morning.

Le Clos won his heat in 51.54 seconds, placing him in pole position for Thursday night's semi-finals.

The 20-year-old South African, who won gold in the men's 200m butterfly on Tuesday, withdrew from the 100m individual medley final, which will be held later Thursday, in order to focus on the butterfly, his specialty stroke.

American Michael Phelps, the silver medallist behind Le Clos in the 200m final, was second fastest of the qualifiers in the 100m heats in 51.72.

 

PS why are there still 2 Olympics threads - confusing where to post. Can this one be merged with that one http://www.thehubsa....6/page__st__176

watched the 4's rowing wow :eek: coming back from lying 4th at one stage to take the gold :clap:

Commentators were stunned.

with 100m to go they were nowhere, commentator calling Australia going to take gold, then when they crossed the line realised South Africa had won. Classic!

 

And great to see all four guys shouting the anthem out, not just mumbling it.

Kinda reminded me of Chad's swim.

Just goes to show what hunger can do.

Hungry enough for a medal, and you sommer take Gold.
