Nathalie Du Toit the South African amputee swimmer (Paralympic gold medallist) finished fourth in the 10km swim, which was incredible if you think that she had to compete with two-legged athletes, and good enough to qualify for the Olympics.
Du Toit will now become the first amputee athlete to compete in a swim event in Olympic history.
