South African swimmer Chad le Clos became the most decorated male athlete in Commonwealth Games history after winning a bronze medal in the men's 4x100-metre freestyle relay.

The record 19th medal took Le Clos past shooters Phil Adams of Australia and Mick Gault of England.

"I shouldn't be crying at bronze, I should be crying at gold, but honestly this means the world," the 34-year-old Le Cos said on the games website on Friday. Le Clos's haul was up to seven golds, four silvers and eight bronzes.
