South Africa’s two top 400-hurdlers, LJ van Zyl and Wenda Nel, are quietly confident of realizing their dreams at the Olympic Games in Rio after their participation at the London Diamond League Meeting.

Nel finished third in 54.47s, the second-best time of her career, and Van Zyl was fourth in his race in a time of 48.92s. His goal was to break 49 seconds before the Games.

*Carina Horn (Tuks/HPC) did well to qualify for the 100 metres final in London.
She had quite a good start in the heats and was in the mix right until the end, running a time of 11.15s.  In the final she was off to a good start again, but unfortunately she slowed down towards the end of the race to finish in a time of 11.22s (8th place).
