Amazing! What a moment for Wayde, and particularly taking Michael Johnson's record. I wonder if Mrs Botha is a Gransnetter? I'm sure she'd be well impressed by the performances in the GN Olympics grin .

I say modestly that we have all done our very best. Hockey, rugby and football are beyond me as my running days are long gone.

Wayde is very lucky in my opinion and I hope that he appreciates his great nan.
