Chad le Clos and Cameron van der Burgh are the toast of the nation, and MySport24 of course, after their gold medals at the Fina World Championships.

And, as a footnote, Le Clos made history by becoming the first non-European or American to win a gold medal in his division.

The Southern Kings have had their share of bad luck, but skipper Darron Nell believes that their match against the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday will be different.

Rumours are doing the rounds that Gareth Bale might transfer to Real Madrid – and the price tag is huge.

And finally, joining Maria Sharapova in the injury boat is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who, just like Sharapova, had to withdraw from the Montreal Rogers Cup due to a knee problem.

High five,
Ed
