Durban\u2019s golden boy Chad le Clos can expect a hero\u2019s welcome when he arrives home tomorrow after winning two medals for swimming at the Olympic Games in London. <\/p>\n
Le Clos will be greeted by friends, family and fans when he touches down tomorrow afternoon at King Shaka International Airport with his coach, Graham Hill. <\/p>\n
The swimmer\u2019s victory over champion Michael Phelps has been described as one of the biggest upsets at this year\u2019s Games. <\/p>\n
Le Clos defeated Phelps in the 200m butterfly, winning the gold medal. <\/p>\n
A few days later, he was narrowly pipped to the post by Phelps in the 100m butterfly, in which he won silver. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole family will be at the airport [tomorrow]. Everybody from Westville and Penzance will be there as well,\u201d his sister Bianca Matos said yesterday. <\/p>\n
The swimmer has been training in Europe for the last three months. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have been communicating with him often, but the last time I spoke to him was three days before his first race. We are all desperate to see him, so we can scream and cry,\u201d she laughed. <\/p>\n
Le Clos has brought pride to his former high school, Westville Boys\u2019 High, and his primary school, Penzance. <\/p>\n
Westville said it would send \u201cas many boys as possible\u201d to the airport to meet \u201ctheir idol\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey are so excited, and we are sure he will be visiting the school soon,\u201d said a school spokesman. <\/p>\n
Le Clos will also be met at the airport by MEC for Arts, Culture, Sport and Recreation Ntombikayise Sibhidla. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
