Makwala gets Grand Prix invite

The 400m sensation will use the series to kickstart his 2018 season.  He last competed in the Diamond League last September, where he emerged triumphant. The Grand Prix series, organised by Athletics South Africa (ASA), would feature three meetings in March, a month before the Commonwealth Games.

Makwala told Mmegi Sport yesterday that he is excited about the opportunity. “I have not been competing because I want to approach this season in a different way. Training has been good and I am ready for the Grand Prix,” he said.
