Jis ouens, ek wou eintlik hierdie nuusbrokkie vroeër geplaas het, maar toe lees ek van die gifstowwe in 'n wyn en skrik my boeglam want ek wil nie myself vanaand doodmaak nie.

Iedergeval - daar is 'n storie oor Ernst van Dyk in die April-uitgawe van Wegbreek-tydskrif. Lekker leesstof.

For those who do not know, Ernst is the Vice Chairman of the SA Koi Society(Western Cape Chapter) and keen hobbyist.

Van Dyk's magnificent seven
21/04/2008 17:26 - (SA)




Boston - Ernst van Dyk left no doubt in the men's wheelchair race of the Boston Marathon.

Last year, the South African failed in his bid for a record seventh straight Boston Marathon victory, losing to Masazumi Soejima of Japan. This year, he led from start to finish to win Boston for the seventh time in 1 hour, 26 minutes, 49 seconds.

It was the second slowest time in his seven victories.

He won by a huge margin. No one was near him when he crossed the finish line on Boylston Street.

Van Dyk said before the race he intended to make up for last week's London marathon disappointment.

The South African was denied a third-place finish when he and American Joshua George collided about 20 metres from the line in London. He got back in his wheelchair and finished 6th.

WELL DONE ERNST!!
