I think what the OP is referring to is that we have a sportsman wearing the rainbow colours on the world stage, and there is basically no mention of it anywhere in the local ZA news.

 

Surely we should be celebrate our sports stars?

It's been in thehub. Is there any higher cycling authority??

 

Seriously though it was on CSA and a few other feeds too.

Reality is cycling is way down the pecking order of priority sports in SA.

Perfect example is Mr Min. He has mukin afazing since forever and a day. Has he scooped any big SA sports awards? Greatest DH rider and i think he only ever been a nominee once for SA sportsman of the year!?
