  1. Morning my child is 11 yrs she is running 100m and 800m so i want the sponsor and she doesnt have the trainer what must i do pls help i am staying in Pretoria

  2. Outstanding from Cole. Faster usually means further. World U20 Q in the bag. Assuming she has Nairobi in her plans, it’s especially important for her because the sprints are so hot.
