Eita my fellow South Africans,
Yes, it is that time. The London Olympics have officially begun and are already on day 6. There is a buzz around the country and where ever one looks, you can see Olympic fever is here. Even Google has the fever, start typing in basically anything and it will drop down with the famous ‘did you mean’ and have a suggestion related to the Olympics. Obviously, with our very own Cameron Van Der Burgh smashing the world record in the men’s 100m breaststroke final on Sunday has really bumped up the ‘gees’ of our nation.
The race itself was epic, although quite quick (58.46 seconds). It had myself and the people I was watching with on the edges of our seats.
The thing that struck me about Cameron though is that he is a real local boytjie. He was born in SA, lives in SA and studies here too. A real home grown dude – fantastic to hear. Well done on the WR and the Gold Cam, you have made us all very proud.
It looks like the pride of all South Africans will be increased exponentially by the winning of yet another gold medal by Chad le Clos. Another truly local young gun, was competing against a number of well accomplished swimmers in the men’s 200m butterfly final and when watching the race, on the last turn it appeared he would have to settle for bronze. However, the last lap saw him dig deep and take first place by just over half a second. Nail biting stuff.
South Africa now sits 10th in the rankings with 2 golds, 6 days in and 7 to go. Lets make sure we get behind the people that have been chosen to represent us in the Olympics and show our support.

Until next time,
Shap shap!
Dave

Off-topic, but:
1. May I suggest to use ‘add this’ (http://www.addthis.com) to share content?
2. Within the page ‘links’, the hyperlink to the web site ‘sa good news’ seems faulty.
