    Australian Olympic bronze medalists, Andrew Lauterstein and Hayden Stoeckel, have had to pull out of the 100m backstroke and butterfly heats as they had gastro.

    As many as 40 Englishmen and 12 Aussies have fallen ill after competing at the SP Mukherjee Aquatics Complex. Team officials have stated that the warm-up pool could be the cause. South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) CEO Tubby Reddy said all South African swimmers are fine.

    It’s yet another problem for the Delhi games, which have so far been plagued by collapsing bridges, corruption, poor attendances, low TV ratings and hospitality complaints. Who knows which muppets are running the ‘show’ over there, but a serious inquest is needed.

    Cameron van der Burgh, the man who carried the South African flag in his first ever Commonwealth Games, ousted two Aussies, one of them the world 100m champion, the other the world 100m record holder, to win Gold in the 100m breaststroke. The 22-year-old Pretorian is Africa’s first home-trained world record holder.

    He broke the Commonwealth Record yesterday, touching the wall in a time of 1 minute 00.10 second. Cameron is tweeting and preparing himself for the 50m semi-final, at 12:30pm SA time. Natalie du Toit is also competing for Gold today, trying to add to her emotional triumph in the 50m freestyle on Monday.

    So far South Africa is joint fifth on the medal list with Malaysia on 9 medals, including 3 golds. Top notch.
