After securing only three medals at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 (one gold and two silver), Fleiser said team management were delighted with the all-round effort at the Paris Games which ended on Sunday, with the squad raking in one gold, three silver and two bronze, to finish in a tie for 44th place in the final standings.

"We're very happy with Team South Africa's performance," said Fleiser, who was the Team SA chef de mission in the French capital over the last few weeks.
