PE swimmer gets Olympic send-off


 Port Elizabeth paralympic swimmer Kevin Paul was given an olympic send-off by more than 80-well wishers at the Old Grey Club in the city on Wednesday night.

He says he's determined to bring back gold as he defends his 100 metre breastroke title that he won in Beijing in 2008.

It was nice to see Jessica Roux, who was unable to finish the women's 10-kilometre marathon at the Olympics, in good spirits and at the function to support Kevin.

He will be swimming a total of 5 events in London and flies out on Sunday as part of the 62-strong SA squad which includes fellow PE athletes Duane Strydom for discus and Michael Lourents for shot put.
