Ntutu rolls back the years to win gold
By GARY LEMKE in Birmingham
At the age of 36 Nododomzi “Jonathan” Ntutu turned back the clock. Right back to 10.83 seconds. Enough to win another Commonwealth Games T11/12 100m gold medal. Quicker than he ran when winning the title in 11.02 in Gold Coast four years ago. The fastest para-athlete South Africa has ever produced did it again.

Simbine was looking to become only the third male athlete in Commonwealth Games history to secure back-to-back 100m titles, and therefore join Don Quarrie of Jamaica (1970, 1974) and Linford Christie of England (1990, 1994) on that i…
