SA Becoming Sprinting Hub
March 17, 2025
|The Citizen
South Africa's sprinting revolution over the last decade or so has been absolutely incredible, and with Bayanda Walaza's latest performance, it's clear that the country's fastest athletes are still making progress.
Over the weekend, Walaza shattered the national U20 100m record to win the Gauteng North provincial senior title in Pretoria. Walaza clocked 9.99 seconds, becoming only the seventh junior athlete to ever run under 10 seconds, breaking the SA U20 record of 10.03 which was set by fellow Olympic relay medallist Bradley Nkoana last year.
What is most promising, however, is that Walaza is only the latest in what has been a long list of phenomenal sprinters who have emerged on SA soil over the last decade.
