Local athlete made history in Germany L
usapho April made history by becoming the first-ever male runner to win the German HAJ Hannover Marathon three times.

This long distance runner is now amongst a long list of South African men who have already achieved the qualifying standard of 2:19:00 for the 42km race at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August, but await the decision of ASA on who makes the final team. Amongst other leading contenders are Stephen Mokoka (2:07:40), who has the option to race on the track aft-
er qualifying in the 5 000m and 10 000m events, Sibusiso Nzima (2:11:43), Lungile Gongqa (2:11:59) and Michael Mazibuko (2:12:29). The 2016 event featured a record entry of more than 21 000 runners. “Congratulations to Lusapho April. We encourage him to remain focused in building up towards this athletics season. The performance of our runners is proving that South Africans are becoming a force to reckon with in 2016 as we build up to the Rio Games,” said ASA president Aleck Skhosana. “We wish him and all other Olympic contenders well for the remainder of the season, as they represent our nation with pride on the global road running circuit. - SPORT24 Lusapho April (above) at the finishing line at the Hannover Marathon.
