South Africa's golden games

After the disappointment of the 2008 Olympics where SA came home with one silver medal, SA has an olympic team to be proud of... the 2008 Paralympic team, who flew the country's flag high and outshone everyone at the games, well i think they did anyway!! Every race i watched on TV filled me with pride and caused an instant case of goosebumps! :)

Oscar celebrating after winning his third of 3 golds in a world record time, taking the treble (100m, 200m and 400m), what a boykie :)

With golden girl, Natalie du Toit (5 golds), and golden boy, Oscar Pistorius (3 golds), leading from the front then rest of the althletes set about smashing all records and coming home with 21 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze with a total of 30 medals and in 6th spot... an unbelieveable result and one that has made me extremely proud! :) Many world records were recorded and Natalie du Toit was awarded the the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award, all in all, an outstanding result... you guys ROCK!! :)

Glorious end for Paralympic Team SA by The Good News
