MATSHELANE MAMABOLO
STEPHEN Mokoka is going to run his third marathon at the Olympic Games on the back of his failure to finish the previous one, but the Hollywood Athletics Club runner does not see his participation at Paris 2024 as a redemption mission from the previous Games in Tokyo.
I think redemption is a tough word, he said when it was put to him that he has the chance to redeem himself after he failed to complete the race in the energy-sapping heat and humidity of the Japanese city of Sapporo in 2021.
I would rather use the word creation or establishment, Mokoka countered.
I would say positioning myself in a better place is more what I can use to describe this next assignment.
