RSA presence at Kitzbuhel ITU World Cup 2007

South Africa was represented by Mari Rabie, Corinne Berg, Hendrik De Villiers, Erhard Wolfaardt and Kent Horner. 2007 is the pre-olympic year and there will be more and more tension in the ITU World Cup this year. It is interesting to see three South Africans trying to get to Beijing. ITU rules allow only two, but I am too tired to study the rules in detail and figure out if there is a gap that would allow third, in this case, Kent Horner, to be part of the Olympic team…
