    Yeah, didn't see the actual run buts its great that he made it through. At the moment, I don't even mind not competing for gold in track events, we just need some actual athletes participating. For most of the races, the most random of countries manage to field athletes yet we can't seem to muster up anyone.

    In case anyone wants to know, tonight at 8:20 is the woman's 200m race. There is also the 400m final and 400m hurdles

    Ah, good to hear. Getting into the final will not be easy, but who knows what this lad is capable of. Wish him well though.

    Sunette Viljoen, one of our realistic last medal chances is in qualifying today; lets hope she is in good form.

    Fourie ran a SB in qualification of the 110m hurdles. Hopefully he can improve even more and make the finals.

    Exciting to finally get to see Caster today, hopefully she is in some sort of decent form and can breeze through her heat.

    3 Big finals today.

    The 200m mens race is probably the highlight and its great to have a South African in it. Sure Jobodwana may not compete for the 3 medal positions but at least we have someone in the race.

    The Kayak women's race should be interesting. Hartley seems to have a great backend to her race, so we could see a medal from her.

    Viljoen in the javelin was probably, going into the games, the athlete most people saw as our best chance of a gold medal. Its a tough field but lets hope she shows her form and bring home the gold or at least a medal.

    Well done to her. Looking at the race she had a chance at silver but maybe left it a bit late. That women that won gold was never going to be caught, though.

    She had a faster time than the winning time, in the semis, but of course something like this is highly reliant on other factors.
