This week-end several top triathletes including the likes of Javier Gomez (ESP) and Rici Lisk (GER) will line up in Maselspoort just outside of Bloemfontein, South Africa for the African Cup Event. Interestingly enough Javier Gomez won one of his first ever ITU Continental Cup races in the very same city a few years ago and no doubt he is the strongest contender to take the title again his year. Being a high altitude city it will offer additional challenges for the athletes other than the usual African heat at this time of the year. BG Scholarship athlete from Zimbabwe, Chris Felgate, will be racing for points to try to keep his African ranking high enough to secure his slot for Beijing. Also on the men's start line will be several other top South African athletes including Kent Horner and Erhard Wolfaardt.
