the gold he won at the london 2000 olympics, when he beat the apparently unbeatable american, michael phelps up in south africa, where football, rugby union, and cricket are king, what led him to unleash his fighter spirit in the pool? and chad le clos, welcome to extra time. um, i mentioned your approach to swimming in the introduction just now. and to finish the quote, i'll add "the more i believe, the more i fight — that's the way i swim." so how did you develop that mentality? well, thanks for having me on the show. yeah, it's interesting, you know, i think, when i was always younger, we had this mentality, i think, south africans, are just, exactly what i say — the harder you hit me, the harder i'll come back at you. we've always just been tough like that in my family, and i wasjust — i always compare it to the movie southpaw, i don't know if you've seen that. ah, so there is a boxing analogy here already. yeah, well, kind of, i kind of see myself like that, and i kind of i came from that kind of programme, where the harder you hit me, the harder i come at you. and now with my change of
