South Africa · 2019 season

Three Crowns, Zero Medals

South Africa sent 27 athletes to the World Championships in Doha in the autumn of 2019 — 22 men and five women, entered in 19 events — and came home with nothing. Two years earlier, in London, the same team had finished third in the medal table with six medals, three of them gold. The fall from three golds to zero is the story of this season, and almost none of it happened in Doha itself.

What the team delivered in Qatar was a string of fourth and fifth places that read like a punishment. Akani Simbine ran 9.93 — a season's best, in a world final — and finished fourth in the 100 metres. Luvo Manyonga, the defending champion, was fourth in the long jump at 8.28, with Ruswahl Samaai fifth at 8.23. The 4×100 relay of Thando Dlodlo, Simon Magakwe, Clarence Munyai and Simbine ran an African record 37.65 in the heats and then finished fifth in the final in 37.73.

Built for the track, not the rail

A racing crop top is the fitted, midriff-length upper half of the women's track kit, worn with briefs, shorts or half tights. It is official outerwear, not underwear: it carries the federation crest, follows World Athletics uniform rules, and takes the bib pinned to its front.

The two-piece crop kit broke through with Flo-Jo's 1988 season, became the sprint norm through the 1990s, and today anchors a kit system of twenty-plus combinations. The crop is the most-picked module in that matrix — and the piece most often confused with what it is not.

The pairing
Classically with briefs; also shorts or half tights — 20+ kit combos at Paris 2024
The breakthrough
Flo-Jo's crop-and-briefs at the 1988 US trials; the norm by the 1990s
Fabric
Wicking poly/nylon-stretch; verified example: 76/24 recycled poly-spandex

Questions we get asked

Is Adidas South Africa Pro Elite 2019 Women Crop Top authentic?
Yes. It is listed as 100% authentic team-issued kit, from the 2019 season. Every photo on this page is of the actual piece, never a stock shot. Want a closer look at something first? Ask us.
What condition is it in?
It is listed as: With original tags. The photos are of this exact piece, so what you see is what arrives. Ask us before buying if you want more detail on its state.
How does this crop top fit?
A competition crop top is a compression piece: short in the body and tight through the chest by design. This one is a Adidas S, M. The size guide lists the body measurements Adidas publishes for that size. And it is the only size there is – every piece here is a one-off.
Can I return it if the size is wrong?
Yes. You have 14 days from delivery: send it back unworn, unwashed and with the numbered authentication tag still attached. Return shipping is on you unless the piece arrived damaged, incorrect or not as described. What we cannot do is swap it for another size – every piece is one of a kind, so there is no second one to send. If you have any doubt about the fit, ask us first.
Where does it ship from and how long does it take?
From Switzerland, tracked, worldwide. Free over €150. We pack it in 1–3 business days, then reckon on 3–7 days within Europe and 7–21 for the rest of the world. Customs duties are separate and are not covered.
