|
Cape Town - Sport24 are proud to announce SA Olympic gold medallist and multiple world record holder, Roland Schoeman as our newest columnist.
Read Roland's first column
HERESchoeman, a member of the ‘Golden Boys’ 4x100m freestyle relay team from the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, is now based in South Africa and his love for the country and his beloved Blue Bulls is motivation enough to keep on training for the 2012 Olympics in London.
Schoeman is excited about the prospect of getting stuck in to writing: "I just want to thank Sport24 for giving me this amazing opportunity. I guess only time will tell if I live up to expectation. This is my first ever experience as a columnist and I am unbelievably excited at the prospect. I'm grateful that Sport24 editor Andrew Lanning has allowed me to share my perspective on specifically swimming, training, but also virtually any other current exciting or relevant sporting topic.
“I guess the only thing else I can say is watch this space.”
Sport24 decided to ask our latest addition some burning questions to see whether he could cut it in the cut-throat journalistic world.
Sport24: When should one stop wearing a Speedo?Roland: When you can’t see the Speedo anymore.
Sport24: Where would you rather be? Watching your beloved Blue Bulls in a VIP box at Loftus or watching the Qatar national football team in a crowd of 97 884?Roland: Watching the Bulls at Loftus, don’t even have to think twice about that one.
Sport24: Who would you rather make dinner for? Dirk Lange or Luke Watson? And what would you cook?Roland: Is Robert Mugabe an option? If he is then I’d make under-done chicken breasts.
Sport24: Finally, who is the hottest woman currently in world swimming?Roland: There’s a Finnish girl, Hanna-Maria Seppala (http://www.hanna-maria.com/). Got to love the Finnish swimming federation!
Schoeman’s column will feature on Sport24 every second Tuesday, starting today, and users are encouraged to leave comments. Roland has promised to respond to the ones that don’t say anything bad about his beloved Bulls...
