Read < 1 minute

Simon Magakwe has become the first South African to run under ten seconds in the 100 meters. Simon managed to run at a local time of 9.98 and now has his sights set on breaking the African record of 9.85 and claiming a medal at the Commonwealth Games.

He attributes his success with training with the 100 meters World record holder Usain Bolt.
