During the 400m men’s final this afternoon 13:48 pm, there is the opportunity to see if anyone will break Wayde van Niekerk’s Rio de Janeiro record time of 43.03. Sadly there is nobody from Team SA competing but it will still be a great race to watch in regards to the record.
Athletics: @_ambitious_jay (20.89) and @clarence_munyai (20.95) win their 200m heats in cruise control. They're in the semi-finals at 12.50pm tomorrow #TeamMzansi #GC2018
