LESOTHO'S Nts'Eke Setho, 17, got one of the biggest cheers at the Singapore Sports School yesterday. Not because he finished first in his 100m breaststroke heat. It was because he finished. He came in 18 sec after his nearest rival.
'I tried my best,' he said, with every reason for pride. He has no coach. Nor a place to train in the last three months. It is winter at home, and the 25 m pool at his swim club is unheated. Still, he is undaunted.
Thursday's 50m breast is his pet event. 'I want to show what I can do'.This is the spirit of an athlete, a real champion will always give his best.
