		The stars of the show were shot-putter Burger Lambrechts, 24, and pole-vaulter Riaan Botha, although the day was spoilt by the news that Athletics South Africa look likely to stop Lambrechts and five others from taking advantage of their form 'Down Under' at the end of the month.
		According to Lambrechts, ASA have told world javelin champion Marius Corbett, world 400m hurdler Llewellyn Herbert, discus-throwers Fritz and Karel Potgieter and Hendrik Mokganyetsi that they cannot go to two big money meetings 'Down Under' because it coincides with the provincial championships starting on February 20.
		Lambrechts' distance easily surpassed ASA's qualifying standard of 19.50m, as did talented junior Janus Robberts, who threw an impressive 19.93 -- just 40cm short of the world junior record -- to finish second behind Lambrechts.

	sport.iafrica.com \| today Roberts, Lambrechts chase gold
		As far as big Burger Lambrechts is concerned, his young challenger Janus Robberts is good for an Olympic medal when the shot putt heralds an historic moment on August 18.
		Lambrechts is 31 and senior to Robberts, who is on scholarship at university in Texas, by six years.
		Robberts' potential began to show with record throws on the American university circuit earlier this year, followed by a 20.93 metre winning distance that indicated big things to come at the Citta di Padova international meeting in Italy in early July.

		With the competition taking part in perfect weather, there were no fireworks on the track and Lambrechts' return to the winner's podium was one of the day's highlights.
		Although Lambrechts won gold, he expressed unhappiness with his technique and winning distance, and has decided to return to the drawing board in an effort to make the 2004 Olympic team.
		Spectators should be treated to some excellent athletics today, with hometown favourites Paul Gorries (400m), Sherwin Vries (100 and 200m) and former EP golden girl Heide Seyerling-Quinn (200m and 400m) expected to shine after showing excellent form in their respective heats.

	IOL: Remember Burger for the honour he brought
		That is, of course, unless Lambrechts can come up with a believable excuse as to why traces of the testosterone-related substance were found in his urine sample, or, if by some minor miracle, he chooses to have his B sample tested and that comes back negative.
		Aggressive he certainly is with the 7,26kg metal sphere wedged under his chin, but out of the shot put circle Lambrechts is one of the genuine gentlemen of the sport, with not a harsh word to say about anyone or anything.
		But the 145kg Lambrechts has always been a big, strong lad, going back to his days at Hoerskool Waterkloof in Pretoria, where he played lock forward for the first rugby team and went on to represent the then Northern Transvaal at Craven Week.

		The birth place of the Olympics seemed to have intimidated shot putters Janus Robberts and Burger Lambrechts.
		Robberts whose 21.24m achieved in Prague in June is still the fifth best distance this year, could not reach 20m today his best 19.41m was not good enough for a place in the final.
		Lambrechts finished 34th in this morning's qualifying with a distance of 18.67m.

	Marathon gold, soccer silver for SA - SouthAfrica.info
		South Africa's men have performed notably better than their female counterparts in track and field, but this has been a noticeable (and somewhat worrying?) trend for some time now.
		In difficult wet conditions, Gerhardus Pienaar won the javelin with a throw of 76.95 metres, while Burger Lambrechts took gold in the shot putt.
		Estelle Viljoen, however, grabbed a gold for the women, capturing the 20-kilometre walk title with ease, while Elizna Naude threw a Games record 57.44 metres to win the discus.

	The Hindu : A better fare expected
		Bobby will have Nneka Unuh of Nigeria and South African Marsica Gertenbach, both 1.84 jumpers, as her main opponents in a rather thin field.
		Shot putters Shakti Singh and Bahadur Singh should also fancy their chances, though South African Burger Lambrechts and Nigerian Chima Ugwu will not be easy to beat.
		Both Africans have personal bests of 20m-plus, but have not been in any great form of late.
