    You have to want it more

    If you don't think the strength of your desire matters - you didn't watch the last 25 meters of Chad le Clos's 200m butterfly swim to win a gold medal at the olympics.

    Friggin' awesome!

          Damn straight. He really dipped into the primal zone.

          Sent shivers down my spine just watching him.

              It was fantastic - well done Chad - you make us proud. It really is quite emotional when you see a guy like him standing on the podium with tears in his eyes - so happy that he has done it and also done it for his country . And to his father as well - as proud as they get - in his words "unbelievable" !

                LOVE the commentators. Chad did not win it - Phelps' error lost it for him.

                BWAAH! Look at the record books to see who won, boys!

                  Commentators are always the clever ones!!! At least Phelp's took it like a man. His gesture on the podium to a overwelmed Chad was proof of a gentleman.

                            It was indeed amazing! The part that made me feel the most was when Chad was cryin. Was so adorable!
