Damn, I totally forgot about this and missed it on DSTV!!! Any way I can watch it, or will they just show highlights at some point?

Congrats GREG! You were a machine! Just a pity I have to take my TV for counselling today cause of all the shouting at it yesterday

[Grebel]

I was down at the finish this time, Didn't get there in time for the last World Cup win..... What an experience!!!!

 

Was fortunate enough to be close to toe "backstage" area before the podium ceremony started. So much emotion. Got to shake the legend's hand. Alec Lenferna and Mike Bradley were there to congratulate him (among others). Alec was VERY close to being in tears!

 

Well done Mr Minn. You made a lot of people very proud!!

I could only watch the recording of this last night, i completely cut myself off from any digital device in order to not spoil the excitement of watching the event - and boy was it worth the wait.

 

Epic run - the man was flying. Well done to Greg Minaar for the most awesome win on home soil!!

What an incredible ride, man I'm sure he and the folks in PMB could hear me screaming!!

[Madmac]

What an amazing experience, i was sitting ringside in Pmb and there were some foreigners around me, i think they were blown away by how loud it got. Incredible, Incredible, Incredible!!!!!

off topic: at the next world cup there should be a separate com for the athertons vs the hannahs, take their combined times and see who's the fastest family.

Yeah it was a great atmosphere to be in... the best and probably the most emotional part was singing our national anthem - the worst part was that the bar had run out of beers afterwards.
