World-class athlete catches up with crime<br />
Hard training pays off in an unexpected way<br />
Stephen Chapman<br />
Llewellyn Groeneveld, our U/19<br />
Biathlé World Champion, found a<br />
proper use for his running ability on<br />
Monday 18 February: chasing and<br />
catching a thief.<br />
Llewellyn was training on the track<br />
at Markötter at approximately 5pm.<br />
A few other people were also there,<br />
including a Grade 8 boy sitting on the<br />
stands.<br />
Llewellyn had started warming up.<br />
When he returned to the stands he<br />
noticed a suspicious-looking man<br />
nearby and told someone to watch<br />
the bags.<br />
When he looked again, the Grade 8<br />
boy’s bag was gone. Llewellyn, realising<br />
it had been stolen, ran out of<br />
the gate and across the Eerste River<br />
bridge.<br />
As Llewellyn started to catch up with<br />
the suspect near the BP garage in<br />
Dorp Street, he saw him throwing the<br />
bag into the bush and trying to look<br />
innocent.<br />
Llewellyn ran up behind the man<br />
and bounced him and chased him up<br />
Dorp Street. The thief, with Llewellyn<br />
hot on his heels, soon discovered that<br />
it is not a good idea to try and outrun<br />
a world-class athlete.<br />
Said athlete eventually caught him at<br />
the Big Easy, picked him up, threw<br />
him over his shoulder and then held<br />
him in a lock on the ground.<br />
A crowd had gathered by then, and<br />
they took care of the situation as<br />
Llewellyn had to leave. He retrieved<br />
the bag from the bush and returned<br />
to Markötter. He then carried on<br />
training although he was exhausted<br />
after the chase.<br />
According to Llewellyn, he did not<br />
think about chasing the man – he just<br />
acted in the moment and did what<br />
he had to do. He said it felt exciting<br />
but he does not think his action was<br />
heroic. “It was simply the right thing

Kragtige Korf laat kreun die rekords<br />
Louiso du Pisanie<br />
Jerome Korf het het op 23 Februarie aan<br />
die SA-kampioenskap in Sandton, Johannesburg,<br />
deelgeneem en ’n paar Suid<br />
Afrikaanse kragoptel-rekords laat kreun.<br />
Hy het in die 120kg-afdeling in die<br />
ouderdom-en gewigsgroep sub-junior<br />
(14 tot 18 jaar) deelgeneem. Sy items was<br />
die hurk, bankdruk en doodoptel, en hy<br />
Wayne Montgomery<br />
wen Afrikabekertenniskampioenskap<br />
het elke item nie slegs gewen nie, maar<br />
ook elke keer die rekord laat spat.<br />
Jerome het 210 kg in die hurk behaal,<br />
155 kg in die bankdruk en 250kg in die<br />
dood-optel. Dit is ‘n gesamentlike gewig<br />
van 615 kg, ‘n klein bietjie ligter as ’n<br />
Nissan 1400-bakkie.<br />
Hierdie Graad 11-leerder was verlede<br />
jaar vir die wêreldkampioenskap VSA toe<br />
en hierdie prestasie is net nóg ’n bewys<br />
van sy talent en harde werk. Sy volgende<br />
oogmerk is om in Junie<br />
vanjaar die wêreldbeker in Rusland<br />
te wen. Daarna neem hy deel aan die<br />
Statebondspele in Nieu-Seeland, en<br />
hy beoog om dit óók te wen.<br />
Ons wens Jerome sterkte toe met al sy<br />
toekomstige planne, en vir die hoë eise<br />
wat sulke prestasies verg. Gaan wys hulle<br />
waar Dawid die wortels begrawe het!<br />
So ’n bietjie meer as ‘n week gelede was<br />
Wayne Montgomery nog lid van <strong>Paul</strong> <strong>Roos</strong><br />
se eerste tennisspan wat die Bestmed<br />
Gerrie Berner-trofee gewen het.<br />
Die afgelope week het Wayne Suid-Afrika by<br />
die Geslote Afrikabeker-Tenniskampioenskap<br />
in Potchefstroom verteenwoordig en het die<br />
buitengewone reggekry deur die enkelspelsowel<br />
as die dubbelspeltitel te wen!<br />

Onvergeetlik - dít is hoe Jan-Louis<br />
Eigelaar, Christoff van der<br />
Westhuizen, Jean Beukes en Gabriël du<br />
Bois die Kalahari-Vasbytkursus beskryf<br />
wat hulle aan die begin van <strong>2013</strong> in<br />
Botswana bygewoon het.<br />
Die kamp bestaan al vanaf 1987 en word<br />
as die moeilikste leierskapskursus in die<br />
Westerse wêreld beskou. Die agtien dae<br />
lange kamp is ’n fisiek en emosioneel<br />
uitputtende kursus wat ’n mens se limiete<br />
behoorlik toets.<br />
Twee van die agtien dae word in Zambië<br />
deurgebring. Hier besoek die manne die<br />
Victoria-waterval, waar hulle deelneem<br />
aan aktiwiteite soos onder meer witwatervlotvaart<br />
en reksprong.<br />
Uitmergelende Vasbyt<br />
Vir vier <strong>Paul</strong> <strong>Roos</strong>ers maar net nóg ’n moeilike dag op kantoor<br />
Vir sommige was die reksprong ’n<br />
hoogtepunt en vir ander ’n reuse en intimiderende<br />
mylpaal om te bereik<br />
(soos gesien is in die video wat die<br />
afgelope Maandag aan die skool vertoon<br />
is!).<br />
Die uitputtende roetemars van 52 km<br />
is uitmergelend en stel hoë eise – fisiek<br />
sowel as geestelik. Alle benodighede<br />
word die hele afstand ver saamgedra.<br />
Daar was ook onvergeetlike<br />
oomblikke. ‘Bush diving’, waar hulle van<br />
’n bewegende bakkie in ’n bos in gespring<br />
het, was definitief vir hulle van die<br />
snaakste oomblikke van die kursus.<br />
Jan-Louis, Christoff, Jean en Gabriël<br />
beveel die Kalahari-Vasbyt sterk aan as jy<br />
daarin belang stel om jou tot die uiterste<br />
te laat toets.<br />
