We are looking back at sporting highlights in the various sporting codes throughout the year with a few action photos that would emphasise a collection of our best sports photos of 2020.

Sport has been largely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and quite a number of sporting events had to be cancelled during the year.
Luckily there were still a few highlights, which included the Vodacom Super Hero rugby competition between four rugby franchises, canoe, the Dusi marathon, boxing, and cricket to name a few.
Popular horseracing takes place at Turffontein racecourse throughout the year, which includes the Triple Tiara, Summer Cup, Charity Mile and many other events. Photo: Annette van Schalkwyk.
