Yet people will tell you only West Africans can run? Nowadays Southern Africa is producing more world class sprinters


Its a significant achievement considering that legends like MJ, Wariner, the X man, Butch Reynolds, Quincy Watts and even Usain Bolt never achieved this feat. Remember that Bolt was a 400m runner in his youth days.
