WITH SUNDESH MAHES

Welcome to SPORTS DRIPS for this week.

We are in the winter sports season and schools and sports clubs have started preparing for their competitions. This weekend we will see thousands or children around South Africa participate in competitive sport, some for the first time ever.

I am sure all the kids, coaches and parents are very excited.

It’s a busy time on the Sports calendar – Nedbank Cup final is this weekend, its an all English club Champions League final in Istanbul at the end of the month, we looking forward to hosting the British and Irish Lions in SA and our sprinters have made us proud on the track at the World Relay championship by winning the 4x100m event.

Today we will be looking closer at what gear is used by international sports stars on the training ground.

We will be having a chat to Maro Itoje, the English Rugby sensation and how he prepares in his Under Armour gear and how he has maintained his fitness under lockdown in the UK.
