Chad le Clos could bag as many as three individual medals at the Rio Olympics in August, said 2004 Games gold medallist Ryk Neethling.Le Clos's performances at the recent Mare Nostrum series in Europe suggested he would be hot in the 100m and 200m butterfly races, and even have a shot in the 200m freestyle, Neethling said."I thought Chad was excellent, it's the fastest he's been at [this stage of the season]," he said, adding he also believed Le Clos could medal in the 200m freestyle.But every race will be tight."It's going to come down to the last couple of strokes again."Le Clos's odds of making the podium in the 4x100m medley relay will hinge on the South African swimmer who carries out the final freestyle leg.It is ironic - as 12 years ago, SA had four freestylers combine to win gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay and set a world record in Athens.Neethling, Roland Schoeman and Lyndon Ferns were the stars of that outfit, with a young Darian Townsend filling the gap.Now South Africa is struggling to find just one freestyle sprinter fast enough to team up with Christopher Reid (backstroke), Cameron van der Burgh (breaststroke) and Le Clos (butterfly).Those three are expected to put South Africa into medal contention going into the final freestyle leg."It'll be us and the US [at that stage]," predicted Neethling, adding the Americans would have a freestyler capable of going 47-seconds mid-to-low from a flat start."We're two seconds slower. That's the problem there."To get a medal [the SA freestyler has] got to go 48-low," Neethling said, adding he expected the Chinese, Brazilians and Australians to be in the mix."I don't think anybody is 100% convinced that Calvyn Justus is going to be [the guy]."Justus won the 100m freestyle at the SA championships with a 49.88 career best in April, but Doug Erasmus went 49.54 earlier in that gala and Myles Brown was the fastest of the three at Mare Nostrum, going 49.59."A guy like Myles, with a relay takeover [which is quicker than a flat start], could split 48-high-to-mid because for Myles the hardest part is the first 25m since he doesn't have that speed [at the start]," said Neethling...
