Chad Le Clos is “pretty upset†that South Africa’s selection criteria could rob him of the chance to become the most decorated medalist in Commonwealth Games history.
Le Clos‚ already SA’s most decorated Olympian with four gongs‚ was hoping to join the all-time Commonwealth record of 18 medals‚ shared by England’s Mick Gault and Australian Phillip Adams‚ both shooters.
Le Clos has 12 medals from Delhi 2010 and Glasgow 2014‚ with half of them coming from relays.
He is planning on competing in four individual races at the 2018 edition in Gold Coast‚ Australia‚ from April 4-15 — and was counting on podium finishes in two relays‚ the 4x100m freestyle and medley‚ to lift him to 18 medals.
But three key teammates he needs to power SA to silverware in those relays were not included in the SA Games swimming team of 23.
“There were guys who weren’t selected for the team which I’m pretty upset about‚†Le Clos said in Cape Town before heading to training base in Turkey on Monday.
“I don’t want to mention any names … there were some guys I asked to go on the team. Some of the guys couldn’t make trials because they were studying overseas.â€

Twenty-one-year-old South African swimmer, Brent Szurdoki, is set to compete at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on Australia’s Gold Coast in April. Despite suffering torn ligaments in his ankle while wakeboarding just three months ahead of his trials, Szurdoki says he wants to beat the odds.
’If there is one tiny piece that they can take home with them, we have done what we wanted’ said Shane Tusup head coach after the special swim clinic of Iron Aquatics held on Sunday. If they feel good, improve and make more friends, it is even better, added the participant children.
One of the recurring lines that Ariana Kukors Smith says she heard from her swim coach Sean Hutchison was that she was “the most impressive person” he had ever met.
Olympic medal counts don’t really show you which nation was the most successful, because larger countries have a huge advantage. There’s a better way to measure a nation’s Olympic success.
