WATCH South Africa's Nail-Biting WIN at World Relay Championships. Photo: Twitter video screenshot
South Africa’s men’s 4x100m sprinters raced to victory in an incredible nail-biting finish, crossing the line just one-hundredth of a second ahead of Brazil. In fact, watch below, as even the commentators are surprised when SA overtook to win in that last second!
It was so close that from where they were sitting the commentators thought that Brazil had just won by a short measure… but once they saw the board, they were full of praise for the SA runners. The male commentator paid tribute to South Africa for making every centimetre count, whilst a female commentator pointed out just how quickly Akani Simbine ran.
