Vyf Spele. 21 medaljes. Een absolute legende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chad le Clos het die beste vir laaste gelos en eers in die laaste wedren van die Statebondspele vanjaar sy plek in die sportgeskiedenis verseker. Toe Suid-Afrika se 4&#215;100\u2009m-aflosspan Woensdagaand in Glasgow se Tollcross Internasionale Swemsentrum derde in die gemengde wisselslag gekom het, het die ikoniese 34-jarige \u2019n medalje en \u2019n plek in die rekordboeke losgeswem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dit was medalje nommer 21. Nie net in swem nie. Nie net vir Suid-Afrika nie. Dit is die meeste Statebondspele-medaljes wat enige atleet, in enige sport, in die Spele se 96-jarige geskiedenis gewen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As daar ooit \u2019n sprokieseinde was, is dit di\u00e9 een.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die reis het op 4 Oktober 2010 begin toe hy goud in die 200 m-vlinderslag in Delhi gewen het. Byna 16 jaar later in Glasgow kon hy sy naam in die geskiedenisboeke skryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Le Clos in aksie in Glasgow.\" class=\"wp-image-326914\" style=\"width:825px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/diepapier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2287990905-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Le Clos in aksie in Glasgow.

Dit laat ook die prestasies van die legendariese skutte Phil Adams en Mick Gault, wat elk 18 medaljes gewen het, in die truspie\u00ebltjie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le Clos het drie medaljes in Glasgow gewen \u2013 almal in aflosnommers \u2013 en daarmee stelselmatig elke mylpaal verbygesteek. Eers het hy Adams en Gault verbygesteek, toe McKeon op 20 medaljes ge\u00ebwenaar en uiteindelik, in die laaste item van die swemprogram, alleen bo uitgekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">21 Commonwealth Games medals. \ud83c\udfc5\ud83d\udc10<br><br>History belongs to Chad le Clos, now the most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete of all time. <br><br>A legacy built through dedication, resilience and excellence.
