Last year's Comrades winner will defend his title on sunday at Comrades Marathon
Bongmusa Mthembu wants to prove he is South Africa’s current best ultra-distance runner. He has finished among the top three on five occasions at Comrades, with four of those performances achieved on the ‘down’ run. The only South African since 1990 to secure victory more than once. He was also a silver medallist at the 2016 100km World Championships, and he will be eager to stand up and deliver once again. Other contenders include powerful front-runner Rufus and in-form Zimbabwean athlete Hatiwande Nyamande. While Mthembu and Gatebe are considered the pre-race favorites, a number of other athletes could pull through to win this wide-open race. Title contenders include former winners Ludwick Mamabolo and Gift Kelehe, as well as Zimbabwean athlete Hatiwande Nyamande, who finished third in last year’s ‘up’ run. On the women's side, last year’s American winner Camille Herron is not running. (06/09/2018) Views: 1,867 ⚡AMP
