Yesterday we received our third gold medal at the London Olympics, when our men’s lightweight rowing team managed to edge out Denmark and Great Britain in the rowing final at the Eton Downey rowing centre.

In a nail-biting race, where South Africa was still in fourth place amongst the six finalists at the 1500m mark of the 2000m course, they managed to catch up with the competition to finish in a time of 6:02.84, beating England by a mere 0,25 of a second.

These pictures below of Sizwe Ndlovu, Matthew Brittain, John Smith and James Thompson celebrating – a mixture of elation and exhaustion after the grueling race – makes me so proud to be from the same country as these guys!
