South African middle and long-distance runner Mapaseka Makhanya has won many accolades in her long and illustrious career. But there are still some milestones she wants to achieve before she calls time on her long career. She still has her sights on qualification for the Paris Olympics in 2024 and the Comrades Marathon.
Makhanya is an accomplished athlete who has represented her country in many international events. But the biggest of them all, the Olympic Games, is one of the major events that has eluded her. She says qualifying for the global games will be her ultimate dream.
“It would fulfill my cycle of running. I have represented athletics in all stages world youth, world juniors, world seniors, Commonwealth, and All-African Games. So the only thing missing is the Olympics but if I don’t go it won’t take my accolades away and it’s one thing I would like to do for myself”
Makhanya admits that her chances of going to the Olympics are very slim. However, she says she can still get an opportunity to qualify if she competes in the race in China early next year.
