Already some of our sporting codes have qualified for the Games, namely the Banyana Banyana national women’s soccer side as well as two rowing combinations (a men’s fours and women’s pairs) and a K1 canoeing slot.
The race now hots up as the various disciplines attempt to make the qualifying standards.
