Mosimanyane pointed out that the injury will not slow them down since they have a series of races lined up for them ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan.

“We will make adjustments if need be, with the help and advice of our medical team, of course. Every race serves a purpose towards getting to the desired fitness levels needed to compete at the World Athletics Championships,” Mosimanyane added.
