Ryk Neethling Athens Quotations

Athens was not the end, but the beginning, ... Some people might have been happy (with the medals in Athens), but not me. Since then we've been going faster and faster, and now we're on top of the world.

What happened when we won that relay in Athens was the beginning of something great. We were a surprise package. No one expected us to win or to break the world record. I think it changed a few things in South African swimming.
