South African sprint king Akani Simbine says he is proud of the men's 4x100m team after their brave effort earned them a silver medal at the World Senior Relay Championships in Botswana on Sunday.
Competing in front of a packed crowd, with the event hosted on African soil for the first time, the quartet of Simbine, Cheswill Johnson, Bradley Nkoana, and Mvuyo Moss delivered a stunning performance.
They finished second in 37.49 seconds, setting a new African record, just behind the United States who won gold in 37.43, while Germany took bronze in 37.76.
