Semenya highlights SA's medal potential at Champs
Cape Argus
|June 11, 2025
CASTER Semenya is confident in SA's medal prospects at the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo in September, but called for more backing for South African athletes.
TeamSA, especially the sprinters, are continuing to light up international meets. Sprinter Akani Simbine is unbeaten in the 100m so far this year, while youngster Bayanda Walaza is staking his claim as the heir apparent. Zakithi Nene boasts the fastest time over the men’s 400m so far in 2025.
“I think if you can continue being consistent and working hard we'll do great,” Semenya told Independent Media on Sunday at the Comrades.
“Simbine is doing quite well; he has been consistent and unbeaten this year, so I'm happy with where he is. And obviously, the young boy Walaza is coming okay. I wish them the best of luck in terms of being consistent throughout the season and wish them the best of luck in the championship.
