South African Athletics Late 80's & Early 90's
A collection of SA athletics videos between 1985 to 1992. A clear bias towards hurdling events, because I was in many of those races. A golden era in terms of performance standards and crowd attendance, in spite of being banned from international competition. But it's woefully evident from these videos that the sport (other than distance running) wasn't particularly accessible to black and brown athletes at that time.
