sorry to respond again, but french Surnames are quite common for Afrikaaners, next to dutch and german surnames.. im sure you know Terreblanche, de Viliers, Le Roux as typical surnames :) And if you look in the interview, you will notice, that le clos father is an afrikaaner for sure.. and i suggest, even if im only a stupid guy from the internet, that you learn afrikaans :) its just such a very cool language, and english everywhere is not the best choice its so boring :)

I didn't know his mom struggled with breast cancer :/ Must've been hard for him... I understand the feeling, my grandmother died of breast cancer and my mom and I have high chances of getting it. Anyways, love him, he's such a great athlete and he did so well at the London 2012 games, such a modest person and such a great athlete. Keep the good work :)

Seriously I hate to watch any video where is him lol no bcz I hate him it's bcz I have huge crush on him I'm crazy about him I feel butterflies when I see him I even dream with him was the beat dream I've ever ever have in my life but it makes feel sad that I don't know him it's frustaring that's why I try no to watch his videos cuz he takes me deep :(

uhm.. that doesnt mean anything, watch his name.. "le clos" sounds very afrikaans, no ? i researched a bit myself : if you hear the interview with his father, after he won that gold medal (Bert le Clos is father,again afrikaans name) , you will hear, that he is an afrikaaner for sure, so le clos can speak afrikaans for sure :)

He is hot. I wish I was in South Africa so I could be proud of him 2. I love him,he's so adorable. Our star Michael Phelps lost to him. I like them both though. But I like Chad Le Clos better(because he's cute and he's a good swimmer.

Actually Le Clos is a french surname. And no that's not true , my dad is an afrikaaner . and i can only understand it , but can't talk it at all.

Baby Cupcakesz commented on 18 Aug 2012

Daaaaamn...Hopefully he teaches me a thing or two about swimming ;) Maybe he could be my private instructor ;) That'd be sexxxy

Mangan2504 commented on 14 Aug 2012

Or you could become a volunteer. I think that's way easier to achieve than to become an olympic athlete ;-).

Johan Tredoux commented on 03 Aug 2012

are there different "servereness" of the atheletes' level of handicaps? or why are these much slower than, say, the 100m backstroke?

Levi Z commented on 14 Feb 2014

There are different severities, or classes. Thats what the S1, S2, S3 etc. means. It's their handicapped level. Wouldn't be very fair to put a mildly disabled competitor against a fairly severely disabled one. And if I understand the second half of your question, this is probably much slower because its 200m rather than 100m haha. Also, their handicapped levels may be lower, so therefore their times to be slower. Either way, it's faster than I could ever do!

Vivi Cortes commented on 21 Dec 2013

Your marks (times) are better tham mine. They are amazing!!!! :´)

Natalie Kalli commented on 25 Mar 2014

There faster than you?!?!? I go 2:06.43
