We had a 7 athletes in Paris representing Zimbabwe. If you got a chance to watch their performance on TV, You would have been proud of them. So who did what?
One of the highlights of Zimbabwe’s participation in Paris was the performance of Tapiwanashe Makarawu and Makanakaishe Charamba in the men’s 200 meters. Both athletes made it to the final, a remarkable achievement that underscored Zimbabwe’s growing reputation in sprinting.
In the pool, Donata Katai brought home Zimbabwe’s first-ever Olympic swimming medal, winning bronze in the women’s 100m backstroke. Katai’s time of 58.60 seconds was not only a personal best but also a new national record. Her achievement is a historic moment for Zimbabwean swimming, and it has inspired a new generation of young athletes in the country.
