Mokoena soared to a silver medal this afternoon (SA time) in the long jump. The former world junior champion in triple jump secured the silver with a jump of 8.24 metres after briefly leading from Panama's Irving Saladino.
Mokoena who is the current world indoor champion secured the first medal for team SA at this games. I'm sure he'll come home to heroes welcome and rightfully so. Here's to hoping we add to the haul, as the Chinese, Yanks and Brits have proved winning is contagious, lets hope team SA all get the fever.
Note: My favourite for gold Sifiso Nhlapo is up on Thursday and I'm also tipping Natalie du Toit for a medal.
