I hope a lot of jocks watch this entire race .........start to finish ...............shows the cost of running wide around a small turn!!!.............and racing turns are much longer so the cost is far greater !!

We have the makings of a serious relay team for Rio next year.

Akine Simbine, Van Niekerk and Anaso Jobodwana (was in the 100m final at London 2012) have all done really well this year. Bronze should be the goal, hard to get the better of the Jamaicans and the US.
