Bayanda Walaza Embraces His Viral Running Style: ‘It’s Creating a Name for Me’
South African sprint sensation Bayanda Walaza has become a viral phenomenon—not just for his speed, but for his unconventional running style. Nicknamed ‘Wobble Wobble’, Walaza’s arm-swinging, windmill-like motion has turned heads on tracks and online alike. While some have questioned its efficiency, the 20-year-old embraces the attention, saying the style is “creating a name” for him. Walaza’s form may be unorthodox, but it’s reminiscent of legends like Canada’s Donovan Bailey and America’s Bob Hayes, who also defied conventional mechanics to dominate sprints. The rising star isn’t in a rush to change it either. “As long as I’m winning and improving, I’ll stick with it,” he shared. However, Walaza admits that if his performance plateaus or declines, he’ll reconsider refining his technique. For now, the flair and results go hand in hand—making Wobble Wobble not just a nickname, but a brand in the making.
