Talk about making history! South Africa delivered one of the most electrifying performances at the 2025 World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou, China, with a stunning double gold victory in both the men’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays. It’s the country’s first-ever double relay gold at the event, and let’s just say they absolutely earned it.

The drama reached its peak in the men’s 4x100m final. The South African team was running neck-and-neck with some of the world’s fastest, but when it came down to the final leg, none other than Akani Simbine pulled off a jaw-dropping, full-throttle surge to anchor the squad to victory. With a blistering time of 37.61 seconds, they not only clinched the gold but also set a world-leading time for the season. Talk about a power move!

But that wasn’t all. South Africa’s dominance in the relays was a testament to their top-tier sprinting talent and unrelenting teamwork. From start to finish, they delivered an unforgettable performance, proving they’re not just here to compete—they’re here to dominate.
