There were some enticing contests at the SA athletics championships in Cape Town from Thursday to Saturday, but the results are hardly going to cause sleepless nights anywhere else in the world.

But in fairness to him, there have been only four such efforts around the world in 2022, and there have been a couple of seasons where Simbine has taken his time getting there, like in 2018, where he did it in June in his 11th start.

Of more concern is that Simbine, 28, beat two youngsters, 17-year-old Bradley Nkoane and 18-year-old Neo Mosebi, by only three-hundredths of a second.The best-looking effort of the competition came from Simbine’s stablemate, Clarence Munyai, who went 20.03 in the 200m semifinals, but that was disqualified as a world championship qualifying time because of a 2.3 metre-per-second tail wind.Had the wind been fractionally softer, Munyai would have rocketed to fifth on the world list.
