Riley Norton, multi-sport prodigy, leads South Africa's U20 rugby and U19 cricket teams with equal prowess. Will he be able to bring home the country's first Rugby World Cup?
If there was ever a person to represent the old adage of 'physician, heal thyself,' it would be Riley Norton. The South African is, quite literally, a youngster with a world of opportunities at his feet. He's represented his country at the U19 cricket world cup, where he was the second-highest wicket-taker, and is now leading the charge at the U20 rugby world cup. It's a feat that requires an immense amount of talent, skill, and energy to accomplish.
Fortunately for Norton, he seems to have all these traits in abundance. Norton's ability to transition between sports requiring such different skill sets asks questions about what boundaries we put on athletes and what they can achieve with their multifaceted talents. It's a welcomed reminder of the pure potential of the human body and the exhilarating possibilities that lie within interdisciplinary sports.
With Norton at the helm, South Africa is expected to reach the U20 rugby world cup final. Whether Norton and his team can achieve that remains to be seen. Nevertheless, whatever the future holds for the talented Norton, it's a safe bet that he'll leave his mark on the world.
