SA swimmer Clos bags Commonwealth record

South African Chad le Clos became the most successful male swimmer in history at the Commonwealth Games after winning the 50m butterfly - his 13th medal.

Failing to claim a medal in the 200m freestyle means his hopes of overtaking the record number for any sport - 18 - is over, but he could still equal that mark were he to be successful in his remaining events.

Realistically though - as the South African relay teams aren’t as strong as four years ago - he’s probably going to have to wait until Birmingham 2022 for the overall record, according to BBC.
