FIFTEEN-year-old pupil Jasmine Martin is taking the national and international judo stage by storm and has her sights firmly set on a Commonwealth Judo Championships gold medal this year as part of her greater Olympic dreams. The Werda school girl has had judo in her blood from a young age and is hoping that the standard of judo can improve in South Africa and compete with the top nations in the world. “Judo in Brazil is very big and so I got into it when I was six years old,” Martin said. “People start taking part when they are very young which gives them an advantage over some of the other countries where the sport is not as popular. “The standard in South Africa is improving, but we are still quite a long way behind countries like Japan, Korea, Brazil, France and Russia.” Martin’s record is an impressive one; she is currently both the under 18 and under 21 women’s national champion and dominated at the national championships earlier in the year which got her double Protea colours. “I made the national team following the South African championships, however without a sponsor I was unable to go which was disappointing. “Besides I just want to keep working really hard at my judo so that I can continue to do well in order to achieve the
goals that I have set for myself,” a focused Martin added. The Elite Athlete Development Programme athlete has seen her judo come on promisingly since she became part of the KZN Department of Sport and Recreation programme and she hopes that she can continue this growth as she eyes out some of the world’s biggest events in the future. “Brazil’s judo was strong however being part of the Elite Athlete Development Programme has given me the support that I need and I have seen how much I have improved in my time with the people at Prime. “Mondli is incredible and helps me become stronger and better. My judo skills have not only improved – I have become a lot stronger,” she explained. With the help of the team at Prime Human Performance Institute Martin has set her sights on claiming medals at the world’s biggest events, starting next month. “I want to win gold in the Commonwealth Judo champs in Port Elizabeth in April and gold in the African Champs this year. “The future goals are a medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo but also to be able to give my parents a gold medal in their home town at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 is one of my biggest aims,” added Martin.

YNETTE Burger Pieterse has her sights firmly set on the aQuellé Tour Durban, determined to use her experience and influence in the women's peloton to deal with the stronger women’s teams expected on the start line in Durban on 24 April. "I will be there going for the win, that's for sure!" said Burger Pieterse. "It is hard to know just what to expect from the women's race but it is always hard and always enjoyable." The bubbly 35 year-old was narrowly pipped at the post at the recent Cape Town Cycle Tour by An-Li Kachelhoffer, but was delighted to be able to assume her spot on the podium alongside the 2016 champion. More importantly, the Demacon rider is loving every moment of her career since she took a brief hiatus from racing during the birth of her son, Dale. "I am thrilled with my form at the moment. I am feeling stronger, but in a different sort of way," said Burger Pieterse. "Since my little one has arrived I seem to have picked up the most wins of my career last year!" As a senior member of the racing community she is passionate about mentoring the next generation of female riders and making sure that the environment for individuals and teams is as healthy as possible. "That's a bit tough at the moment though!” admitted Burger Pieterse. "It seems that a lot of the younger riders are committed to teams that ride overseas and then there are the women who stop riding, for a variety of reasons. "Then we have also seen the rise of African women's cycling - which we have always supported - but now we are getting beaten by the African women, who are really flying, which
is a fantastic problem to have!" Sizing up her aQuellé Tour Durban challenge, Burger Pieterse is quick to identify the strongest challenge coming from the Clover and Time Freight teams, aggravated by her own shrinking team and the loss of her key team mate, Heidi Dalton to racing in Europe. "At the moment it looks like Demacon will be mainly myself and perhaps some young riders, if we can sign them, but it will be tough against the other teams for sure! "It will be tough if there are strong teams like Clover and Time Freight there because if you just have a few riders in your team then you have to
watch every move all the time and make sure you stay with them," said the three time aQuellé Tour Durban champion. Burger Pieterse is a great admirer of Dalton, who joined her as a 14 yearold with potential and has blossomed into a serious force in South African women's road cycling. Normal entries can be submitted online at www.cycleevents.co.za/ road-events/aquelle-tour-durban2016/ and until 10pm on 11 April, after which late entries will be taken at registration at Suncoast Casino & Entertainment World from 10am to 5pm on Friday, 22 and Saturday, 23 April. - supplied.
