After being postponed last year, the Tokyo Olympic Games is going ahead in July, under the cloud of the Covid-19 pandemic. Locals in Japan are wary and athletes are anxious – but for the rest of us, this the event we need to lift our spirits after a dreadful year. One team that will be followed with bated breath is the 4 x 100 metre relay team. SA sprinters Gift Leotela, Thando Dlodlo, Clarence Munyai and Akani Simbine – all from the Tuks Athletics Club – managed to clinch a gold medal at the
World Athletics Relay Championship in May. BizNews caught up with team coach Paul Gorries, to find out how they are preparing and ask him what he thinks the team’s chances are. He also reveals what one of our biggest hopes for medals in the Olympics, superstar Wayde van Niekerk, has been up to. – Linda van Tilburg

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.

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.
