WATER SPORT NEWS - Swimming star Chad le Clos earned his third medal on Sunday and lawn bowler Colleen Piketh secured the national bowls team’s first of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, with the SA squad closing the fourth day of competition with a total of nine in the bag.
Le Clos, who had already scooped two golds, finished second in the men’s 100m freestyle final in 48.15, sharing silver with Australian Kyle Chalmers who touched in the same time.
Duncan Scott of Scotland chased him down to win gold in 48.02.
“I’m very happy, very proud. I could see him (Scott) coming behind me and I was like ‘argh, please don’t. But I’m happy with my swim. You can’t complain about a personal best,” Le Cos said.
“If we could get 20 minutes to warm down, I’d love to go again.”
