# Athletics: South African middle-distance coach Samuel Sepeng says financial constraints are preventing him from joining 800-metre gold medallist athlete Prudence Sekgodiso at international events. She recently broke the record at Ostrava’s Golden Spike event, and competes in the Diamond League in Eugene, USA, on Saturday. Sepeng told SABC Sport he’s coaching remotely despite time zone challenges due to lack of funding for flights, food, and accommodation, stressing that in-person guidance is vital for Sekgodiso’s performance.
