Yes Gert. I am surprised that FM did not report this event in more detail.

South Africa won of course but England came second. By the looks of the photos, a few of the competitors were cooked to a frazzle in the sun.

Morning Ron.

Sorry fot the late reply was a bit sick.

Here in SA the event was also not covered by any television station.

Actually a pity considering that this is a World Event.

But anyway congrats to England for taking Second place,, it could not have been yeasy with this heat here ???

At least now after the event it started to rain.

REGARDS

GERT
