ATHLETICS NEWS - Three of the country's four medallists at last year's IAAF World Championships will be on show this week, as they battle for national honours at the 2018 ASA Senior T&F + Combined Events Championships at Tuks Athletics Stadium, in Tshwane between 15-17 March.
Fireworks are expected across a variety of disciplines, with the men's sprints and Long Jump events among the most anticipated highlights of the three-day spectacle.
World champion Luvo Manyonga and World Championships bronze medallist Ruswahl Samaai, will lock horns in the Long Jump contest.
Manyonga won a titanic duel last year, launching an African record of 8.65m, with Samaai setting a Personal Best of 8.49m in second place.
At the recent IAAF World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Manyonga produced a continental indoor record of 8.44m to bag silver, while Samaai landed at 8.24m at the Liquid Telecom Athletix Grand Prix Meeting in Pretoria last week, making it clear that both athletes will again be gunning for gold.
