Carina Horn podiumed at Diamond League in Monaco

Posted on July 18, 2016

In Monaco Carina Horn (Tuks/HPC) impressed by being the fastest out of the starting blocks in the 100 metres women’s race. It is something she has been working on for quite some time. Horn finished third in a time of 11.14s.  

The African and South African 400-hurdles champion, Wenda Nel (Tuks/HPC), is moderately satisfied with her 4th place performance (54.93s) at the Monaco Diamond League Meeting.  “Naturally I would have loved to have run a faster time, but at least I am consistently running times faster 55 seconds. I am still experimenting to find out what will work and not work for me at the Olympic Games. I also have to work on my stride pattern.” 
 
Nel’s next race is on Friday at the Diamond League Meeting in London.
