We are into the final two days of the Olympic Games in Paris. Team South Africa have won five medals, after a fantastic silver in the men's 4-by-100 relay last night. Akani Simbine has an Olympic medal, finally, after he ran a blistering final leg to bring the team up in a close contest. To look back at the race, and at the Olympics in general, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC sports presenter Janet Whitton...

It's Noah Lyles. The big 100m showdown in Paris saw the top four separated by 0.03s, wity 5/1000th between gold and silver. Noah Lyles came out on the winning side of that margin, defeating Kishane Thompson, with Fred Kerley taking bronze ahead of SA's Akani Simbine. The winning time, 9.784s may not have been super fast, but the race was historically deep with positions 4 to 8 all running the fastest times ever recorded for those finishing places. We discuss the tension of the 100m, and look at 10m splits and speeds to discover how the race was won by Lyles despite his slow start. We also look back at the women's cycling road race, where Kristen Faulkner delivered a perfectly timed attack to take gold from more fancied rivals. Finally, we wrap up the Olympic swimming action, where the USA delivered two world records to move to the top of the medal table, with a look back on the winners and losers from the pool.Join DiscourseIf you're enjoying of Paris Daily podcasts, and generally love sports science, consider a small donation to become a Patron of the site, and get access to our Discourse community, where you can join like-minded fans and sports enthusiasts to keep the conversation going.

Letsile Tebogo in Botswana, Ferdinand Omanyala in Kenya and Akani Simbine in South Africa are just 3 of the guys leading the pack for the continent in the pursuit on an Olympic medal in the 100m Dash, which has not occurred since Namibia's Frankie Fredericks won Silver almost 30 years ago in Atlanta 1996.

Guest:  Akani Simbine, South Africa's sprint king We spoke to South Africa's sprint king Akani Simbine about launching his foundation and his goals for the athletic calendar year.

I speak to former African and Commonwealth Games 100m champion about life in the fast lane of athletics, his ambition to crack the top 3 at the Olympics in Paris and why he believes he is still the African continent's apex predator. Akani shares his views on dealing with the highs and lows and why athletes in South Africa often heeled undervalued.

Season Two continues with Commonwealth 100 metres champion Akani Simbine, and the reigning Diamond League Shot Put champion Maggie Ewen. Who doesn't like strawberries? What happens in the call room before a 100 metres race? Will having the Worlds on home soil convince Americans to watch Track and Field? What's it like to finish fourth? We're also discussing body image and why athletes don't have to look a certain way to do a particular event. Plus, why the Commonwealth Games needs to come to Africa.

"The third leg of the Athletics Grand Prix is underway in Potchefstroom, with the highlight of the night being the 100m and 200m men's events featuring Akani Simbine, Anaso Jobodwana, Terrence Munyai and Ferdinand Omanyala from Kenya.”

"The third leg of the Athletics Grand Prix takes place in Potchefstroom tomorrow night and there are some A-listers on the programme from African 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala, Caster Semenya and Akani Simbine.”

"Kenyan sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala broke the African record as he finished second to the US's Trayvon Bromell in the 100m at the 2021 World Atheltics Continental Tour Gold Series in Nairobi this past weekend. He finished his race in 9.77's beating Akani Simbine's previous record of 9.84. KBC leading sports journalist Daniel Wahome takes through this meet and what Omanyala has been through.”  

We heard from Akani Simbine's coach Werner Prinsloo after the athlete broke South African and African 100m record with a time of 9.84 in Hungary. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After being postponed last year, the Tokyo Olympic Games is going ahead in July, under the cloud of the Covid-19 pandemic. Locals in Japan are wary and athletes are anxious - but for the rest of us, this the event we need to lift our spirits after a dreadful year. One team that will be followed with bated breath is the 4 x 100 metre relay team. SA sprinters Gift Leotela, Thando Dlodlo, Clarence Munyai and Akani Simbine - all from the Tuks Athletics Club - managed to clinch a gold medal at the World Athletics Relay Championship in May. BizNews caught up with team coach Paul Gorries, to find out how they are preparing and ask him what he thinks the team's chances are.  He also reveals what one of our biggest hopes for medals in the Olympics, superstar Wayde van Niekerk, has been up to.

This podcast has been in the pipeline for some time. Thank you Bronwyn Roets and Peet van Zyl for connecting us to SA's incredible athlete, Akani Simbine. Akani is an Olympian who, together with our powerhouse South African men's 4 x 100m relay team, recently won the World Athletics Relay in remarkable fashion. Akani will soon be competing in the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Personally our excitement for the Olympics is peaking way too soon

South African sprinter Akani Simbine is hoping that he can continue to get better as he plans on peaking at the Olympic Games in Tokyo later this year.

Strong winds deny Akani Simbine and Gift Leotlela new records at the 2021 Sizwe Medical Fund ASA Senior Track & Field and Combined Events Championships in Pretoria on Thursday. Simbine stormed to victory in the 100m with a season leading time of 9.82 secs (+2.8m/s), with the 0.8m/s wind over the legal limit ruling it out from being a new South African record. In one of the other semi-finals at the Tuks Athletics Stadium, Gift Leotlela raced to victory in 9.94 secs (+3.6m/s) but the windy track also denied him a new legal sub-10 second mark.

Athletics Analyst Thabo Molete reflected 400m Olympic and World Record holder Wayde van Niekerk winning on 200m race at the Ruimsig Athletics Stadium ahead of Akani Simbine on Tuesday.

South African 400 metre world record holder Wayde van Niekerk won the 200 metres at Ruimsig in the rain today against Akani Simbine.

MultimediaLIVE — Team South Africa came back from the IAAF Athletics Championships in Doha last week without a single medal, which was in stark contrast to the 2017 performance in London, where the team finished third in the medal standings? What in heaven's name happened? We have Al Jazeera sports journalist, Peter Stemmet, who is based in Doha and was at the athletics meet, to unpack the entire shambolic Team SA display for us. There were a few close shaves, such as Akani Simbine and Stephen Moroka, who narrowly missed out on podium places in their 100m and marathon disciplines respectively. But in the end, the absentees, Wayde van Niekerk and Caster Semenya, were badly missed. How does this bode for South Africa's medal chances ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games? Well, considering the last time South Africa returned zero medals at the event was in Osaka in 2007, on the eve of the 2008 Beijing Games, where Team SA only came back with a lowly silver medal, the signs are ominous. We also look ahead to the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals where the Springboks are due to play Japan, All Blacks play Ireland, Wales face France and England face Australia. Plus, new Bafana Bafana coach Molefe Ntseki started his coaching reign with a bang when his team beat Mali 2-1 to scoop the Nelson Mandela Challenge title. All this and more on the latest episode of the SportsLIVE podcast.
