Manfred Seidler - Gerda Steyn

Loading player...
The Bothaville-raised Gerda Steyn, has been tipped as the favourite to win this years’ Comrades Marathon which will be run from Pietermaritzburg to Durban next week.

This comes after the former champion, Caroline Wöstmann, withdrew from the iconic ultra-marathon.

The former champion, Wöstmann, sighted a lack of fitness as the reason for
withdrawing, and the move is considered to be wise.

After winning the 2018 Two Oceans Marathon is Cape Town, Steyn, fired a clear warning shot.

The athletics pundit, Manfred Seidler, told OFM Sport that with Wöstmann, with drawing, the Free Stater is now the favourite.
