Le Clos says yes to schoolgirl suitor

SOUTH African swimming hunk and Olympic gold medallist Chad le Clos made a girl's day by agreeing to go to her school dance when she wooed him with a poster at a Johannesburg airport.

"I just started to cry. I was shaking and I was so nervous," said Melanie Olhaus, 17, after Le Clos agreed to be her date. The pretty blonde held up a baby blue poster with the words "Chad, will you be my matric dance date???" together with pictures of her and him holding his gold medal. The matric dance is farewell ball for final year school students. "He said he thinks he's in the country at that time and he'll try and make it," Olhaus told a local paper.
