champion walaza turns down offers from us colleges to stay with his coach

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.
