Leotlela was the fastest South African in the heats, qualifying with a time of 10.04 seconds. Simbine, too, was convincing, with Simbine keeping his bid up for a medal and US-based Maswanganyi throwing his name in the hat.

In the men’s football, there were wins for Mexico, Japan, Brazil and Spain as they each booked their place in the semi-finals.
