Anaso Jobodwana - South Africa's rising star

“I was happy about how I ran – I didn't lag this time like I did in London (Olympics). When I got to the straight I tried to kick and he was coming (back) but I started to tire up. I guess the coach will have to look at it and tell me what it is I did wrong, and then take it from there,” said Jobodwana. 

“There are up and downs in everything. The up is that I ran three consistent races of a high standard. I made it to the final, but making the final is not enough. At this point I'm not really disappointed because I've still a lot to work on and I'm going to be ready for next season. 

“Obviously on the down side is that I didn't run a personal best and that I didn't medal, but I guess that disappointment will help me going into next season”, he said. 

Whilst running in the semi final, Jobadwana almost caught Bolt off-guard when he nearly overtook the Jamaican phenomenon from the inside just before the finish line, Bolt follied with the South African rising star at the end, fist bumping him and acknowledging Jobadawana's effort.

“He wished me luck at the start and acknowledged my run afterwards,” continued Jobodwana, who also attracted congratulations from a number of the athletes as they walked through the post race zone.
