The SA 4x100m team describe their qualification for the final as a confidence boost

The quartet recorded the second-fastest time in the heats, crossing the finish line in a season best 37.94 seconds.

Simbine ran the anchor leg, securing second place just behind the USA, who clocked 37.47 seconds. It’s been challenging few days for the sprinters, with Simbine being the only one to reach the final in the 100m.

However, Maswanganyi believes that their relay performance will give the team a much-needed confidence boost.

"Just to come out here and do what we can do and we made the best out of our situation, we had to adapt quickly and as athletes, we're forced to just make do of what we can and I feel like we did the best we could," Maswanganyi said.

"I know that we made a few errors but overall it's a confidence builder for me, especially after the disappointment from yesterday's semifinal. Just to come out here, enjoy the crowd, be with the guys, we were excited.

“We were standing there looking at the guys and we're like yeah, the energy is here, we're gonna do the best we can and we're gonna rep the green and gold."
