School pupil Bayanda Walaza plans to stick with his coach and his uniquely strange running style when he goes to the University of Pretoria next year, the double under-20 world champion said on his return from Peru on Tuesday morning.
Walaza, who faces matric prelim exams starting with geography on Thursday, said he had already turned down a few offers to US universities since his meteoric rise that started with the 4x100m Olympic silver at the Paris Games last month.
The 18-year-old phenom plans to stick with Thabo Coach T Matebedi, who made it happen. Im not going to change any coaches because that can cause a lot of difficulties and all of that, said Walaza, who won the 100m and 200m crowns at the age-group competition in Lima last week.
