NEW: South Africa To Send Their Fastest Ever Sprinters To Portland

National record-holders Anaso Jobodwana and Henricho Bruintjies feature on South Africa’s team for the IAAF World Indoor Championships Portland 2016.

Of the 11 members of the all-men’s team, 10 of them – including Jobodwana – will be making their IAAF World Indoor Championships debut. Jobodwana set a national record of 19.87 when taking the bronze medal at the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015 to go alongside the national indoor record of 20.47 he set in 2013. Last year he set a 60m PB of 6.60.


















Fellow sprinter Henricho Bruintjies has never competed indoors, but last year set a South African 100m record of 9.97, a mark that was equalled a few days later by Akani Simbine.
