Three South African sprinters are in contention to make one of the most iconic Olympic events - the men's 100m final in Paris on Sunday.
After clocking 10.03 seconds to win his 100m heats at the Stade de France on Saturday, South African sprinter Akani Simbine is approaching each race step by step.
Akani Simbine, Shaun Maswanganyi and Benjamin Richardson have all progressed to the semifinals of the men's 100m sprint race at the Paris Olympics.
South African 100m record holder Akani Simbine faces a heavy burden of expectations as he approaches his third Olympic Games in Paris.
Teenage sprinter Bayanda Walaza is looking to emulate his idol Akani Simbine as he looks to make his Olympic debut in the 4x100m relay team in Paris later this month.
