World Race Walking Cup Correction - 28 May 2010
Upcoming star Corli Swart
came home with an excellent result from the World Cup.Unfortunately the race
officials reported to the world that it is a new SA Record.
After consulting the South Africa Record stats we noticed that the record
still belongs to Lee-Ann Watts (50:36), a record that she established at the
University Championships in 2001 in Port Elizabeth.
Corli showed us with her great result that she has the talent to break Lee-Ann's
record. There is still lots of races coming up this year and we all believe
that she can do it.

Ada Booyens one of World's best - 01 December 2009
The selection for the WMA Best Masters 2009 has been finalised,
there were 4 female nominations and 5 male nominations as followed, with their
selected events from their Regional Nominees, and the WMA Councils decision.
Remarkably 2 SA Master athletes were nominated of wich one is the South African
Race Walker, Ada Booyens (coached by Carl Meyer) who achieved 3 Gold Medals
at the recent World Masters Championships in Finland.
I believe this is a massive recognition for our SA athletes proving that we
truly do have the best in the world in SA.
