Hy het verlede September as lid van hierdie span in Maleisi\u00eb deelgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vian, wat reeds van verlede jaar af in die afdeling vir mans o.23 oefen, reis vier middae per week Strand toe vir harde oefeninge wat twee ure per middag duur. Die afgelope klompie naweke is afgestaan aan klub- en streekskompetisies, soos die vorige naweek se WP-kampioenskap in Moorreesburg, waar Vian drie medaljes ingeoes het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voordat hulle na die Afrika-spele vertrek, wag daar ook nog WP- en SA klubkampioen\u00adskappe. Eers hierna volg die Afrika-toutrekkampioenskap naby die Victoria-waterval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die byeenkoms duur van 20 tot 24 Junie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die organiseerders verwag sewe Afrika-lande en 30 Zimbabwiese klubs by hierdie byeenkoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die bestuurder, Werner Kleynhans, s\u00ea hierdie span het \u2019n besonder positiewe houding. \u201cAs die houding reg is, kan \u2019n mens ver kom. Ek is seker daarvan dat ons Blouspan \u2019n goeie \u2018oorlog\u2019 sal kan voer!\u201d het Kleynhans ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vian s\u00ea tegniek en krag is belangriker as gewig. \u201cDis waarom ons elke jaar van Januarie tot September oefen, oefen, oefen,\u201d het hy verlede jaar al verduidelik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vian word dikwels ingespan om voor te trek omdat hy die vermo\u00eb het om opposisiespanne se beoogde planne vinnig te lees. Dan gee hy dadelik die teken vir die res van sy span aan sodat hulle hul teenstanders se taktiek kan teenwerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tog het hy die vermo\u00eb om op enige posisie in die span te trek. \u201cHy \u2018vat anker\u2019 (is gemaklik agter), tog kan hy orals in die span sy kant bring,\u201d verduidelik sy pa, Michiel Steenkamp. \u201cHy sal by die Afrika-byeenkoms in die afdelings vir 640 kg, 580 kg (gemeng) en 720 kg deelneem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die organiseerders het die program s\u00f3 beplan dat die trekkers tyd sal h\u00ea om die Victoria-valle en Chobe Nasionale Park te besoek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oor al die uitgawes wat Vian se betrokkenheid by toutrek meebring, s\u00ea Michiel skenkers is gewis welkom en s\u00ea veral sy werkgewer Provincial Logistics, ondersteun hulle uitsonderlik.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vian Steenkamp van Malmesbury is in die Springbokke se Gazelle-toutrekspan, die Blou-manspan,
