Runner completes 89-kilometre race in exact time he ran before nearly fatal injury

A South African runner who was impaled in 2015 finished a gruelling 89-kilometre race, hitting the exact finishing time he'd achieved before his injury. He wasn't chasing just any finish—the race awards medals based on time, so matching his old pace proved his body had truly recovered. His surgeon also received a medal, honouring the medical work that made his return possible.
