Chad le Clos and his coach
Chad le Clos found the right coach and the right recipe to achieve what he had been waiting for a long time.
Once again he proved his quality and how serious a swimmer he is. "I know winning isn’t everything, but I have taken a lot of losses lately and been written off by people that are close to me. I moved to coaches that believed in me.
It didn’t matter who was there tonight, I was prepared to die out there... and to remind these guys that I am still here."- he concluded. His goal is to break Lochte's record, and he will need three more titles to do so.
However, le Clos believes that he is capable of achieving what he set out to do.
"That’s what I am here for. I need three more golds and I will be the best short-course swimmer in history." A great swimmer who can do a lot. We hope that he will succeed in his goals. It won't be easy, but he's great.
