    At the age of 19, Chad Le Clos did the unthinkable - at the 2012 London Olympics, he edged ahead of one of the world’s greatest swimmers, Michael Phelps, to win the 200-metre butterfly sprint and take home the gold medal. And he didn’t stop there… For eight years, he blazed a trail through the sporting world, becoming South Africa’s most decorated Olympian. Then, everything changed. At the Tokyo Olympics, Chad crashed out of the competition and into a downward spiral. Battling his own private demons, he struggled to regain his competitive edge. But he refused to give up. Spurred on by his supportive family and his coaching team, he’s now preparing for the this year’s Paris Olympics. And he’s more determined than ever before to regain his Olympic glory.

    All olympians especially winners end up depressed at the end of their careers because they can never achieve a pinnacle like an Olympic podium ever again in their lives. They feel like they've lost all purpose

      @JVan-ic6ic the problem lies in the fact he said all Olympians end up depressed, which isn't true. My mother was an para-olympian that won quite a few gold medals and had 2 world records and she transitioned to normal life quite fine. Also know of 2 more able bodied Olympians that didn't get depressed, so that statement seems to come from a place of ignorance.

      Hahahaha, the ANC doesn't have any mindset let alone one like Chad's 🤣🤣🤣
      It takes a working brain to have any mindset, sadly the ANC doesn't have the sum of one functioning brain between the lot of them.
