A power performance by Reyaan Traut at the African Track Championships in Egypt has made him a remarkable 3-time African Champion, filling South Africa with immense pride!
Cairo, Egypt, (15 May 2025) – Reyaan Traut has added yet another stunning gold medal to his collection, following his power cycling performance at the African Track Championships in Egypt!
The event, which took place at the Cairo International Velodrome in Egypt between 12-16 May, formed a critical part of the continental competition calendar, offering UCI points and an opportunity for athletes to gain exposure and benchmark themselves against Africa’s top track cyclists.
Reyaan was among the strong blend of elite competitors, up-and-coming juniors, and para-cycling talent our nation has to offer, and he didn’t disappoint!
With a stellar podium finish, making him a 3-times African Champion, the para-athlete clinched top honours in the Paracycling Individual Pursuit, Cycling South Africa reports.
“The heat, the vibe and the victory. Grateful for all the support and strength given to me.”
“Thank you, everyone. We did that. Not once, not twice, but 3 times. African Champion,” Reyaan wrote in two recent posts following his triumph.
Reyaan’s journey is truly captivating. Hailing from Elfindale, he discovered cycling unexpectedly after an accident where he lost his left arm. We previously shared a story about how Reyaan’s tragedy became a catalyst, igniting a determination and competitive spirit that has seen him become one of the most decorated para-cyclists of our time.
Standing tall today as the epitome of a true champion, Reyaan has made his mark in the books of SA cycling history and has through his life story proven that there is still an extraordinary life to be lived after tragedy.
His followers praised him as an absolute machine, a champ and the G.O.A.T. and we couldn’t agree more. Well done, Reyaan!
