Four years earlier, at the Beijing Games, he finished 15th in the cross-country event.<\/p>\n<p>Bear Hansen, the artist, was also doing the caricature from a very emotional place, because he too shared the pain when very close friends lost children in accidents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have friends who have lost sons, it was very painful. So in my own way I just wanted to give the family a little memory of a loved one, hoping to bring a small gift from a huge fan of Burry.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.witness.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">Witness Reporter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more breaking Burry Stander news,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/tag\/burry-stander\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more breaking sporting news and views, visit MySport24 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySport24\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mysport24?ref=hl\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/charges-drop-against-standers-killer\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/eb3a9_181778669_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/charges-drop-against-standers-killer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Charges dropped in Stander case<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/stander-family-looking-for-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/eb3a9_182565122_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/stander-family-looking-for-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stander family looking for answers<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/buys-will-race-for-stander-at-world-champs\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/eb3a9_186464869_80_805.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/buys-will-race-for-stander-at-world-champs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Buys will race for Stander at World Champs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/eb3a9_zemified_h.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KZN artist Bear Hansen (left) presents a caricature of Burry Stander to his dad, Charles, and his brother Duane, at Concept Cyclery in Waterfall recently.
