There might be a few more silver streaks in the wily old fox's mane, but make no mistake, he still has tricks aplenty up his sleeve.
On Saturday, 10 August, in a packed Stade de France, Jo-Ane van Dyk won an Olympic Games silver medal in the javelin and beaming at her in the Parisian night was her coach, Terseus Liebenberg.
The 69-year-old - who was athletics manager at the North-West University (NWU) for three decades now has had his hand in two Olympic silvers.
The first came when his protege, Sunette Viljoen, came second at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Liebenberg's prowess as a coach is the stuff of legend and his list of achievements is unparalleled.
Just think back to Marius Corbett's 1997 world championship win in Athens and the countless medals since.
