Marathon journey made World Relays triumph even sweeter for Akani Simbine and Team SA Ashfak Mohamed © Provided by Independent Online (IOL) The marathon journey that Team South Africa had to endure to get to Poland for the World Relays proved to be worth it in the end, Akani Simbine, who stormed to victory in the final with an astonishing finish, said in the pre-event press conference that it had taken more than 30 hours to reach Silesia in Poland, having left home on Wednesday night. But he said that the competition was a priority, as they wanted to get things right before the Tokyo Olympics – especially as the likes of the United States, Canada and Jamaica did not travel for the World Relays.

World Relay gold for SA men’s quartet builds Olympics hope Craig Ray © Copyright (c) Daily Maverick , All Rights Reserved South African 100-metre champion Akani Simbine showed why he is among the world’s elite sprinters as he overcame a three-metre deficit when he took the baton on the final leg of the 4x100m World Relay Championships race in Silesia, Poland on Sunday. Three metres on the track over 100-metres with a flying start, is roughly a 0.4 second deficit on the clock. Simbine made that up with every millimetre to spare. He dipped for the line to give SA gold over Brazil, whose final leg sprinter Paulo Andre Camilo de Oliveira, faded in the final 10 metres.

Akani Simbine on Relays gold medal: ‘I knew I would catch up’ Ashfak Mohamed © Provided by Independent Online (IOL) “I knew I could catch up.” That was how Akani Simbine felt about his exhilarating chase all the way to the finish line to snatch victory for South Africa’s 4x100m team at the World Relays in Poland on Sunday night. The quartet of Thando Dlodlo, Gift Leotlela, Clarence Munyai and Simbine claimed the gold medal in dramatic fashion as they held off Brazil by one-hundredth of a second to win in 38.71 seconds. In the end, the result wasn’t actually that close, as Brazil and third-placed Ghana were disqualified for technical infringements, which saw Italy and Japan claim the silver and bronze medals respectively.
