CHAD LE CLOS BORN RACER DOCCIE
The story of champion swimmer Chad Le Clos is thus perfect for SuperSport’s
ongoing passion for storytelling, adding to a vibrant and varied documentary
content slate that goes to the heart of many of our heroes.
“Born Racer” will premiere on June 30 (SS Variety 1, 8pm).
The documentary takes viewers inside the world of elite swimming, the ups
and downs that come with it, as well as redemption. It’s about the challenges,
triumphs and extraordinary sacrifices that come with dedicating one’s self to
sport.
The big appeal of this film is its rawness. We often see Le Clos at his most
vulnerable, and he freely gives expression to his self-doubt and
disappointment. These aren’t behaviours normally on show with champion
athletes, but Le Clos, to his credit, doesn’t shy away from his failures or his
inability to cope.
Despite being able to lay claim to being the continent’s greatest swimmer of
all time, his journey hasn’t been smooth. His rivalry with the great Michael
Phelps, his famous defeat of the GOAT and his life in the fast lane are all
examined under the director’s eye.
