• April 15, 2001: World heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis pays homage to the 43 people crushed to death at Ellis Park Stadium four days earlier — considered the worst sporting accident in SA history. Ralf, younger brother of Formula One great Michael, maintained his pace over the rest of the race to seal his first Grand Prix win.
India, who led 4-1 coming into the game, restricted England to 288 thanks to S Sreesanth’s career-best figures of 6/55. India’s top four batsmen — Robin Uthappa, Rahul Dravid, Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh — all scored half-centuries to seal India’s 16th successive win while chasing. • April 15, 2012: Ethiopia’s Haile Gebrselassie wins the novel half marathon against Paula Radcliffe during the Vienna City Marathon in Vienna.
