Wednesday will see the assault on what would be the most incredible medal in Olympic history. Natalie Du Toit will swim in the 10km open water swimming event at 3am SA time - be sure to set your alarm clocks for one of sports greatest moments. 
Du Toit lost her left leg in a motorcycle accident when she was 16 and after conquering the paralympics in 2004 and competing in the able bodied Commonwealth Games in 2002 (finishing 8th in the 800m final) she set her sights on becoming the first amputee to qualify for the Olympics. Tomorrow I have no doubt Du Toit will fulfill her destiny and if you think I'm blowing smoke up your ass - she finished 4th in the able bodied world champs in Seville earlier this year! Now this would be a story to rival that Phelps fellow ...Sifiso Nhlapo will also be in action in the BMX qualification with the final on Thursday. Oh what a story it would be to have 3 medals by Thursday.
