Johannesburg - Five-time Paralympic medallist Ilse Hayes and visiting German athlete Irmgard Bensusan led the charge on Tuesday evening, as records tumbled on the opening day of the track and field competition at the Nedbank National Championships for Physically Disabled in Johannesburg.
Hayes, who has earned medals at the last three editions of the Paralympic Games, broke the African record in the women's T13 200m sprint.
She crossed the line in 24.79 to finish more than two seconds ahead of Western Province team-mate Johanna Pretorius.
