Prudence Sekgodiso 'enjoyed It Very Much' As She Breaks Her Own 800m Sa Indoor Record

Just a week after setting a new South African record in her first indoor race, Prudence Sekgodiso proved that she means business in 2025 by breaking her own 800m national mark on Friday night.

Competing in a World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany, the 23-year-old Paris Olympic finalist improved her record of 2:02.30 that she set in Belgrade last week.

Having finished fourth in Belgrade, Sekgodiso took charge this time around on the final lap.

Ethiopias Habitam Alemu was in the lead at the bell, but with about 150 metres to go, SA star Sekgodiso made her move.

She roamed past Alemu in a cool, relaxed manner, and then stretched her lead on the final straight to motor to her first sub-two-minute time on the indoor circuit, setting a new SA record of 1:59.88.
