Makhanya too good for Olympian pair in Pretoria: Mapaseka “Speedstar” Makhanya romped home in a record 33min 37sec to win the Pretoria leg of the SPAR Women’s 10km Challenge at SuperSport Park on a chilly Saturday afternoon. Her emphatic victory means the Transnet runner is virtually assured of winning the SPAR Grand Prix prize of a Nissan Micra car after the Johannesburg leg of the Challenge series in October. Last year’s Grand Prix winner and London Olympian Rene Kalmer, finished second in 33.56 and her Nedbank teammate (and also Olympian), Irvette van Zyl (formerly Van Blerk) was third, in 34.21. Rutendo Nyahora (Nedbank) was hot on her heels, in 34.32. The first four all broke the record (34.50) set by Kalmer in 2011.
