Man is his head and ego going to get SO much bigger than it already is

Useless bloody post.

"I came to the Games hoping to get into the finals and I went into the finals hoping to get any medal whether it's a bronze silver or gold; I just wanted to do well and the fact that God blessed me with the silver I'm very happy," said a beaming Mokoena, who believes there are still members of Team South Africa that are going to do well in the Games.

lol, must be the reason why Bob Beamon's 8.90 is STILL the current Olympic record.......since 1 9 6 8

Or it could have something to do with altitude...

True, 2200+ must have helped a lot, but Powell has shown that it can be done at sea level. Would have loved to see Powell repeating that jump in Mexico City

Even more useless post

Have you ever met him? I have, on 3 occasions, there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Now compare him to someone like Micheal Johnson & Frankie Frederiks, two of the nicest guys i have met, and they actually have a reason to be arrogant, yet they aren't.

I haven't been checking the Olympics out so forgive my ignorance, but WTH happened to our swimmers? They did so well last year.

Looking at their times, they've all swum faster than in 2004. Even the 4x100m team who set a WR (and won gold) in Athens improved their time by 4sec!

IMO, they were lucky to win the gold last time round. That doesn't make the 2004 medal any less valid - but people shouldn't add the pressure of depending on them to repeat that performance.

So it's not that we did badly, it's that others did better? Oh well, as long as they did their best.

One medal and we are all deliriously happy!

Pathetic. We are supposed to be the leading country in Africa and look at who is doing better than us, Zim, Kenia, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Togo, maybe a few more.

Agreed. And winning a medal in Bowls also doesn't count.

I'm happy to see other African countries doing better than us to be honest, in my opinion if we were the most successful African team the present government will have more to gloat about to the world and ignore the real problems at home.

News just in........

...Security caught him at the gate

And there goes our next medal hope - Malaudzi - he was well positioned but completely out-run in the last 100 metres. He had nothing left in the tank!

micheal johnson is not friendly if he doesnt know you ive seen him talk to people so badly for reason at all. well frankie he is nice most of the time but there are times when frankie can be a real prick.

Khotso is a very nice guy and he jumped well these olympics even after he fired his coach in europe as he wasnt performing.

This dudes mother has spoken. Yep, spokesman and know it all.

She was on the radio this morning commenting on the sword incedent stabbing thing from a few days ago. Parents she says should raise there kids better - to that effect.

Wow - having her son winning a medal gives her all sorts of extra knowledge and wisdom.

Fantastic - hoping my son wins the spelling bee competetion at school so i can too have some of her knowledge.
