Chad Le Clos is back in South Africa after winning lots of money and gold medals on the World Cup circuit. Le Clos talks about how swimming in the World Cup has motivated him for the London Olympics and how, despite his initial denial of the comparison, he is taking a similar trajectory as Michael Phelps on the global scene.

Chad Le Clos had a stellar 2010, rising from first-time national champion to Commonwealth and world champion in less than six months. He talks about the details that led to his breakout year and relives the experience of winning the short course world title in the 200 fly and what it will mean for his chances for a medal at this year's world championships and the 2012 Olympics.
