Le Clos has earned seven gold, five silver and nine bronze medals at five editions of the Commonwealth Games. When he first turned out at the Commonwealth Games, as a teenager 16 years ago, Chad le Clos said he never imagined he would ultimately become the most decorated medallist at the multi-sport spectacle. His record included seven gold, five silver and nine bronze medals over five editions of the quadrennial Games. He didn’t step on the podium in the mixed medley relay, but he did receive a medal for his contribution in the opening round. “The way the boys and girls swam, they swam their hearts out,” Le Clos said.
