Walaza rebounds from injury to be selected for Championship
The Mercury
|September 03, 2025
YOUNG sprint star Bayanda Walza was a surprise inclusion in the 49-member SA team for the World Athletics Championships to be held in Tokyo, Japan, between September 13 and 21, after he had pulled up injured during the 100m at the Diamond League Final in Zurich last week.
The winner of the sprint double at the recent World University Games will only take part in one individual event, the men’s 100m, in Tokyo, despite also qualifying for the 200m. He will also not be part of the men’s 4X100m relay team.
Athletics South Africa announced the team of 32 men and 17 women for the world champs on Tuesday. It features eight national record holders, including Akani Simbine (100m), Tshepo Tshite (1 500m), Adriaan Wildschutt (10 000m), Antonio Alkana (110m hurdles), Elroy Gelant (marathon), Marione Fourie (100m hurdles), Ashley Erasmus (shot put) and Jessica Groenewald (35km race walk).
