Another silver medal for Le Clos
Swimmer Chad le Clos increased Team South Africa's medal tally at the Rio Games to five.
He won a silver medal in the men's 100 metre butterfly final this morning.
With a total of four Olympic medals, Le Clos is now the most decorated South African Olympian of all time.
He finished in a three-way dead heat for second behind Joseph Schooling of Singapore along with Michael Phelps and Laszlo Cseh.
Few times in history you will see this !!

Le Clos, however, withdrew from the 4x100 medley relay team who then failed to qualify for the final.
The 4x100 medley relay team of Chris Reid, Dylan Bosch, Cameron van der Burgh and Myles Brown, failed to make the final, ending a disappointing seventh in their heat.
Le Clos withdrew at the 11th hour from the medley team to focus on the 100metre butterfly.
Van den Burgh said he was disappointed.
"It's a bitter pill to swallow. We would have liked to be in the final, but no excuses. I haven't really seen my time, but it definitely wasn't my best performance," van den Burgh said.
