Great to see more African sprinters getting recognition. Africa massively on the rise in the shorter stuff. Tebogo, Simbine, Omanyala, Balaza are the flag bearers, but there's now a clutch of Botswanans, South Africans and Zimbabweans too.

Makarawu is coming off a summer in which he competed at his first Olympics and reached the 200m final, where he finished sixth. He is the Zimbabwe 200m record holder with a PB of 19.93.

I have nothing but sympathy for these athletes but at least they got justice and saw the dopers disqualified and banned. There are hundreds- maybe thousands - of athletes who finished their careers knowing they were cheated out of medals and rewards by rivals who took drugs and were never caught.
Please read this very important story by @ricktimes about the #London2012 women's 1500m and the toll it took on the clean athletes who were in the race. www.thetimes.com/sport/olympi...
Anger and disillusion: toll of losing to cheats in ‘dirtiest race in history’
As fifth athlete from 2012 women’s 1,500m Olympic final receives a drug ban, three of the clean runners that day share the lasting mental toll of having career hurt by dopers

We are seeking the silver bullet when the reality is we need to zoom back out and nail the basics before we even consider the final 1 percent.
