South African swimming superstar Chad le Clos won his second medal and the country's fourth at the London Olympic Games, in the men's 100 metres butterfly final on Friday evening.
The race was almost a repeat of Tuesday's 200m butterfly final when Le Clos beat 17-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Phelps to the wall.
Phelps, who made a mistake in the 200m butterfly final by gliding to the wall, managed not to repeat it and won the race with a time of 51.21.
Le Clos finished joint second with Russia's Evgeny Korotyshkin in a time of 51.44.
His silver medal swim signalled South Africa's most successful Games in the pool since the country's re-admittance to the Olympics in 1992.
