Our hot Olympic hero

We can’t believe it took us so long to realise how hot swimming sensation Chad le Clos is! But that’s not the most important thing here... The fact is: He won gold!

Our second gold medallist at the London 2012 Olympics beat the world’s best swimmer Michael Phelps from the US (who now holds the record for the most Olympic medals in history, by the way.)

Chad, who is only 20 years old, managed to overtake Phelps in the last few strokes of the 200-metre butterfly, to win the gold by 0.05 seconds. His overall time was 1:52.96.

We are so proud of him! (And we'll be ogling him for the rest of the day, thank you very much!)
