Lythe Pillay at the World Athletics Relays Silesia 21 (© Dan Vernon) At the age of 18, you could be forgiven for feeling nervous when preparing to represent your country on the global stage, lining up against world-class seniors. But right before Lythe Pillay settled into his blocks for the men’s 4x400m heats at the World Athletics Relays Silesia 21, the South African teenager had the look of a kid passing time with his friends in the schoolyard. He looked over at his teammates standing trackside, held the baton to his mouth and shot an imaginary arrow in their direction, then broke into a wide smile. Moments later, he got his nation off to an excellent start with a 46.25 opening leg, helping South Africa to second place in 3:03.79 and into the final, thereby securing Olympic qualification.
