Simon Magakwe claimed his sixth 100m title in style as he brought the crowd at the Tuks stadium to their feet when he stopped the track clock at 9.98 seconds.

Damn. That's quick. Word of advice, Simon. If you hear noises in your bathroom, it's probably your girlfriend...

Wow. A 10s 100m should be enough to get to the Olympics, right? Does it have to be done in 2016 or will this count?

SASCOC made an exception for Oscar to go to the last Olympics but they couldn't make one for Magakwe.

If Athletics SA had chosen its fastest athlete, Simon Magakwe, to compete at the London Olympics rather than double amputee Oscar Pistorius, he would have been able to put food on the table for his family.

Instead, the 27-year-old African sprint champion continues to battle to support his family and his running career.

Although Magakwe did not qualify for the London Olympics last year, he ran six “A” standards compared with Pistorius’s one “A” standard.
