Simbine favourite to win SA 100m title, say experts

Johannesburg - After weeks of hyping the event on social media with the tag #FillUpPotch, the SA Senior Championships are almost upon us.

The “small meeting”, as Athletics SA president Aleck Skhosana called it a few weeks ago, will be held in Potchefstroom on Friday and Saturday.

While there will be interest in how Luvo Manyonga continues to toy with the South Africa and Africa record in the long jump; in how Caster Semenya defends her unique treble (in the 400m, 800m and 1 500m); and in hammer thrower Letitia Janse van Vuuren, the lion’s share of eyes will be on the 100m final.
