South African 60m and 100m sprinter Carina Horn had a great 2015 season and equalled the 100m national record in a time of 11.06, a record which had not been equalled or broken for 25 years. Carina missed out on the 2012 Olympics and was disappointingly left out of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. However, this increased her motivation, and she made it through to the semi finals of the 100m at Rio 2016.
