‘It means the world to me’: Chad le Clos celebrates medal record

South African swimmer Chad le Clos made history on Wednesday night at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow by becoming the most decorated medallist in the history of the multi-sport event. Reflecting on the milestone, the 16-year veteran of the Games stated that breaking the record means the world to him, noting that he never imagined achieving such a feat when he first competed as a teenager.

Meanwhile, Nigerian athlete Tobi Amusan delivered a commanding performance on Thursday at the same Games to secure her spot in the women’s 100m hurdles final. The former world champion cruised to victory in the opening semifinal with a time of 12.19 seconds, capping off a strong period of competition for African athletes at the Glasgow event.
