There is no shortage of talent in South African athletics, but once in a while, track and field is given an extra bit of a shake by someone whose immense potential rattles the foundations of the sport. Though records have tumbled in senior men’s and women’s sprint events in recent years, and in the junior men’s division, we haven’t seen quite the same breakthrough among junior women in the 100m and 200m. Talent has been unearthed, for sure, but we haven’t seen any real world beaters. Until now.Jingqi is the kind of athlete who gives you goosebumps when she enters the blocks, and her potential is evident by just how long the records she is breaking have stood.
