The head of South Africa's Olympic squad urged triumphant rower Sizwe Ndlovu to go home and inspire a generation of black people to take up the sport after his thrilling victory at the London Games on Thursday.
Ndlovu led the South African lightweight men's four to victory after sprinting through the field in the final 300 metres of a dramatic race to win gold ahead of the two favourites for the title, Britain and Denmark.
The stunning come-from-behind win for Ndlovu, John Smith, Matthew Brittain and James Thompson was also the first Olympic rowing gold to be won by a South African crew.
