After completing a historic hat-trick of victories in the Absa Run Your City 10km series in Tshwane on Sunday, SA long distance runner Kabelo Mulaudzi was proud to have edged Ethiopian runner Aklilu Asfaw in a nail-biting photo finish.
Both athletes finished in 29 minutes but the officials awarded the win to Mulaudzi, who was not even sure he had won. The victory means he has now won the series for the third consecutive time after wins in Cape Town and Durban.
Im proud of what I achieved today. The race was tough, but I embraced it. My season is going really well and Im looking forward to what is next, Mulaudzi told the media after the race.
