I just hope he can get his head on straight and make it a double gold. After the mind blowing effort of yesterday, it is going to be difficult for him to put it behind him and concentrate on the job but then again, maybe it will spur him on to another spectacular performance

He only qualified in about the 11th fastest time out of the 16 semi finalists, so I don't think we should expect too much. On the other hand, maybe his sheer determination and guts can drive him to a medal !

It can't be easy though. Coming down from that kind of high must take some serious mental gymnastics. I know I couldn't - which is possibly why I was never going to be a successful athlete :)

This chad guys is good, what a finishing yesterday i thot he was loosing out to the asian guy (no.3) but, he came back with a bang to no2 and surprisingly touching the finishing spot b4 Michael Phelps or who-ever that fother-mucker frm america is. That was magnificent.

As for this Van biljoen biatch she is so useless i have watched her, she is very useless- she wont make it to any final in these olympics, let alone a medal.

@DJWinner, what are you griping about now ? There are many places where you can read about all the SA Africans taking part, when their events are taking place, etc. It is natural that Le Clos and VD Burgh will get the headlines until we get another medal, then that person will get the headlines. Are you ever happy and satisfied about anything ?

=======================================================================
12 medals is way pushing our luck. I think to be realistic we can expect another medal from Chad(not necessarily gold). Khotso might get one, Caster I'm pretty sure she is gonna get one. Another one from the rowers. I am not sure about the BMX guy, the last time I saw him was in the previous Olympics. Other than that, I don't see more medals. Sorry, I don't see 12 medals target happening. Kunzima ngaphandle baba, The Russians, Americans, British and Ch!nese are always dominating the Olympics.

By the way, many, many countries are going to go home with no medals..

Speaking of the British, why during the Olympics they have Great Britain which is England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland as far as I know? But during the soccer world cup they get separated, they have England on it's own, Ireland on its own etc. Are they combining them to increase the chances of getting more medals and separating them in soccer to create chances for one of them to win the world cup? Blerrie crooks.

Thats the name of the game. It's not called the ultimate world championships for nothing. Not a single athlete there doesn't dream of being on that winners podium. That is why they find reserves they never knew they had and pull out personal best times. Whining about it isn't the way to go though, that never motivated anyone.

I've found myself, over the years, becoming more and more 'xenophobic'. Wanted the Mexicans to win because they are 'southerners' like us and wanted Coventry to win because she is 'African' like us. Only ones from the south that I tend to shout against are the Ozzies - thats a rugby thing I suppose :)
