Olympics 2021 Tokyo

The Olympics 2021 has got on the way and so far the most successful country has been china who have managed to get 40 medals. The medal table looks like this so far.

South Africa have so far won three medals at the Tokyo Olympics. 1 gold and 2 silver. Tajana Schoenmaker has won gold in women 200-meter breaststroke and sliver in the 100 meters breaststroke.

Bianca Buitendag has won silver in the Women's shortboard.

The 2 silver Medals were won on 27th July and the Gold today 30th July. This is a good start for South Africa at the Olympics as within the first 7 days they have managed to win 3 medals. Yes, this is not so good compared to other countries.

The South Africans still have hope in the track and field event and Rugby 7s to earn more medals for the country.

South Africa has made steady progress and most of its athletes will come into action in this coming week so hopefully, South Africa can start moving up the medal table.

this was my take on South Africa's performance at the Olympics so far.

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field.

Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks.

Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
