Here we look at the highlights from those who were in action Team SA at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Sunday
1 Chad Le Clos surged to the SILVER medal, being out-touched to a fourth successive gold by New Zealand’s Lewis Cuthburt. Le Clos went out in lane five to set a fast pace, leading by 0.40sec at 50m, by 0.33 at 100m and 0.17 at 150m. But just as he seemed to have shaken off James Guy, Cuthhurt, in lane four, came through strongly, and got to the wall first with his final stroke.
