Theres been a lot of confusion and some controversy around the participation of sprinter Benjamin Richardson at the national athletics championships in Stellenbosch last week.
It was confirmed last year that Richardson, a former SA 200m champion who earned 100m bronze at the 2024 African Championships, had applied to represent Ireland .
And though he must wait a few years before he can compete for his country of birth and he can no longer represent South Africa at international championships, he took second place for Athletics Central North West in the 100m final at the SA Senior Championships at Coetzenburg Stadium.
