The Rwanda National Olympic Committee has removed
boxing and swimming teams from the national contingent which will represent the
country at Africa Youth Games slated for May 22 to 31 in Gaborone, Botswana. The
Chef de Mission Elie Manirarora told Times Sport yesterday, “The two sports
federations have not fulfilled the requirements needed to compete in the
Games,” “Both boxing and swimming federations have not made any efforts to
secure legal status just like other federations which will represent Rwanda in
Gaborone games,”
“Secondly, we have followed and controlled the way
federations are holding their training sessions. Boxing and swimming teams have
not had any reasonable preparations and they have no hope of helping our nation
gun for medals,” “Winning medals in Gaborone is our sole aim and any federation
which doesn’t show any sign of winning honours in the African Youth Games, will
be dropped,” added Manirarora.
With boxing and swimming federations out, athletes
such as boxer Jean Pierre Cyuzuzo (light weight-64kg) and swimming duo of
Isiaka Iradukunda (50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke & 50m freestyle) and
Alphonsine Agahozo (50m freestyle & 50m breast stroke) will miss on a
chance to exhibit and gain experience and exposure at the second continental youth
games.
