    I am so blessed and grateful to have had the opportunity to represent South Africa on the highest level and I'm feeling more motivated and more determined than ever before! Thank you for your constant support, only up from here!

      Nah everyone talks about the lifeguards at Olympic swimming being pointless as a competitive swimmer who competes nationally it’s very possible for a swimmer to black out or have a problem due to how hard their going so I do think it’s important to have a lifeguard on deck

    That moment when you want to play for the Olympics but you're sport isn't represented.

    It's weird how you can be so proud of someone that you've never met!

    Swimming is the best sport from the olimpic games, I enjoyed all the races.
    It´s very nice to see the olimpic games from your view.
    Very nice video, you should have your own tv show, it could be named "Just Us" and you could travel around the world practicing different sports (Yw, tip is for free hahaha).
    Too bad the olimpics are about to end... I´ll miss them a lot!
    Congrats for your great channel!!!
