Great performances! Fun to think about his potential. But even with such great potential, realizing it is a whole different thing. The greater the potential, the higher the risk. He’ll need a solid team around him to help him navigate the journey.
Even more history in Australia 🔥

Potentially a big development in the race to host the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games with South Africa holding talks today with the IOC in Lausanne. An African country has never hosted the Games. It is widely expected that if they do bid, then Cape Town would be the city they put forward.
