Few athletes have ever lined up for a South African ultra-marathon with the favourite's tag pinned so firmly on their vest, but Gerda Steyn insists she's not taking anything for granted as she targets a record seventh victory at the Two Oceans ultra-marathon in Cape Town tomorrow.
Steyn, who has won the race at the last six straight editions, is the only athlete to have picked up more than four wins at the annual 56km contest.
She also holds the women's record of 3:26:54, set in 2024.
