You are right about Elena's consistency, it is amazing to watch how she can be on top of her game through out and not be fazed by competitors...she just does her thing with calmness. Eleanor had some difficulty but she put in a good fight too.
It was also amazing to watch Bongmusa, if that boy carries on the way he did this year, he too will be a Comrades King...time is still on his side and he wasn't that far behind Mamabolo, less than a minute to be exact...good to see SA guys coming to the challenge..

@ COWGIRLCowgirlOutstanding performace by Ludwick Mamabolo, can Elena Nurgalieva give other ladies a chance next year bathong! her twin sister was gracious enough this year by not being part of the race to give others a chance & we thank her for that, now Elena must be next....7 times.....really woman!
It seems like you 've been watching this Russian lady winning the Comrades year after year, don't you think you can start doing something to stop her winning ways because you also have what she have.

You could be right, but have you got the endurance to tolerate 89Km of strain?

@SeshegoGuyThat must have been frustrating hey. I was coming just fine as I even did Tough One (RAC 32km) and I even did the 73km in Secunda. Which club do you belong to?
@DeOvi
Google SA Active and you will see all the races and you can also register online. Start with 10km. there will be plenty of them now for runners to recover from madness training of Om Die Dam (50km), Two Oceans (56km) and Comrades (89km). If you keep active, you can make it.

@RavenLoL..702 is a walk. If u run u get dis-qualified. I've never enjoyed it, 50 000 people in one race is just too much but its for Charity. Seshego to lebcow is around 50km and i've done 50km races before (Om-die-dam and City-to-City Marathon). I will probably do the 702 Walk but im focusing on other coming Races

@TechgeekI have been following her in the Comrades for a while now and to be honest it has become a bit boring cause there isn't a challenging contender to her title, this year she has improved her own record.
Let me challenge her next year....i'll be happy to finish the race though as i am not in it for the medals cause that is a pipe dream for me...lol!

@CowgirlI know you can make it since I have no doubt about you at all, go girl go and make us proud.
As for some of the comments here they think it's easy to run that distance, honestly speaking it's easy watching but we should all know that this race is not for the fast runner but it's for the strong ones.

I'm so disappoited in News24! They are showing pics of Bruce Fordyce and Zola Budd instead of Ludick Mamabolo's pic! Those two had their chance to shine and they were all over the front news! They just wrote about Mamabolo and displayed a Comrades logo! Mxm! Bloody agents!Report Abuse

it is for the first time this year that sowetan published something positive about our beautiful Limpopo province. All the best to mr. mamabolo and his family. he proved beyond reasonable doubt that SA is alive with possibilities & Limpopo is very talented. Despite all the negative publicity by our media, Limpopo has produced best people in sport, politics, & music.Report Abuse
