Wayde van Niekerk wins the senior men's 200m final at the ASA Senior Track and Field National Championships at Tuks Stadium in Pretoria on April 17, 2021.Van Niekerk, who qualified only on Saturday, swimmer Le Clos and rower Smith all have Olympic gold medals from past Games, while Brittain, who will partner Smith in the men’s four, owns a silver and the Blitz Boks and triathlete Henri Schoeman a bronze each.
Throw in surfer Jordy Smith and this batch features no fewer than six of SA’s medal hopes at the Tokyo showpiece from July 24 until August 8. A total of nine disciplines were named as part of the launch of SABC Sport’s 24-hour channel, but swimming was the only one where coaches and team officials were not included, strengthening the claim that the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee was still looking into allegations of sexual abuse levelled against one of them.
Sascoc’s acting CEO Ravi Govender declined to comment, saying more swimmers were still to be added to the team. By contrast only three athletes were named — Van Niekerk, Kyle Blignaut and Marc Mundell — but that didn’t stop Sascoc from naming the code’s coaches and management.
