Team SA returns from Doha empty-handed | IOL

JOHANNESBURG – South Africa bowed out of the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha without making it onto the medals table.

The result is in stark contrast to the previous edition of the global showpiece in London two years ago when the team finished third overall courtesy of three gold medals, a silver and two bronze. The team’s medal-less run marks the first time since Osaka 2007 that South Africa will return empty-handed.Akani Simbine and Luvo Manyonga came oh close to stepping onto the podium after finishing fourth in their respective finals.
