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.
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.
