Dias gears up to chase gold
Polokwane Observer
|November 06, 2025
In August 2023, Calvin Dias (19) travelled to Bath in the UK as part of the South African Laser Run team that competed in the Laser Run World Championships. It was his first time, and he hasn't slowed down since.
Just three months later, in November, Dias represented South Africa at the UIPM Biathle and Triathle World Championships in Nusa Dua, Bali. This year, he will again don the green and gold, competing in the Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) Biathle, Triathle and Laser Run World Championships, taking place in Mossel Bay from December 8-13.
As former learner of Curro Heuwelkruin, Dias is currently pursuing a B.Com law degree online. When he's not studying, he runs his own running club and coaches athletes in his free time.
