sports watches for running south africa image
Q. I looked at a map of South Africa for the world cup, and the stadiums are very far apart. This seems crazy. Was there a world cup in the past where all the matches were in one stadium or at least all in the same city/town?
Answer
This is not a situation unique to South Africa, or even to the sport of soccer. The main reason for this though is because South Africa is poorer country. They do not have the finances that large US cities enjoy. Poverty is a severe problem in Africa, and because of this, financial spending goes first to protecting and feeding its people. So soccer stadiums are few and far between. Soccer unfortunately is not a priority when it comes to spending. That aside, South Africa has done a phenomenal job with the resources they have to put on the 2010 World Cup. The stadium in Polokwane ranks among the very best in the world. I heard this live while watching a game â the commentator spoke very highly of the stadiumâs structure, capacity and pitch. More than one stadium is required because of the amount of soccer games that are played at the World Cup. Iâve been streaming all 3 live every day. The fields get pretty beat up and chewed through because of the hard running and soccer cleats, so in order for the games to be played one after another (because repairs to the field are needed), many stadiums are needed.

I heard about it and I want to watch Pistorius run. But does anyone know when he is going to run. I only know that its going to be this week?
Answer
Here is a link to the South African team page on Y!Sports. I think that Pistorius runs the 200 and 400m. It might just be the 400 though. You can check it out. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/south-africa/
