While Wayde van Niekerk opened his season with a relatively pedestrian result in challenging conditions in Potchefstroom yesterday, some of his compatriots shone at the ASA Athletix Invitational in Roodepoort. Though he was well off his half-lap career best of 19.84, the 400m world record holder said he was pleased to return to the track for the new campaign, after making a comeback last year from a serious knee injury, as he geared up to defend his Olympic one-lap title in Tokyo in August.“The wind was a bit strong, but we all had that challenge and I took it as it came. I’m happy.
In the field, Cheswill Johnson built on his impressive early-season form, winning the men’s long jump with a leap of 8.14m, with three men going beyond the eight-metre mark.Kyle Blignaut was equally impressive in the men’s shot put, securing victory with a heave of 20.85m, just five centimetres short of his personal best, while Jason van Rooyen also sent the shot sailing beyond 20 metres with a 20.24m effort.
