Athletics Tanzania (AT) has come into agreement with Hanang Sports Club to promote athletics ahead of next year’s Brazil Olympics.

Both AT president Anthony Mtaka and Hanang Sports Club founder Wilhelm  Gidabuday confirmed the deal which is expected to step up preparations of athletes for the Olympics.

In an interview Mtaka said under the pact the two organisations will work together in soliciting and raising funds to enable athletes’ preparations.

“This has been reached to complement our ever growing sponsorship challenges. Doors are open to companies, individuals and organisations to join in sponsorship while hoping in turn to win medals and improve athletes’ performance”, he said.

He said the pact will also help to market Olympics in the country as plans are underway to have an international marketing film which will raise athletics profiles.

Mtaka could not disclose amount of money expected to be raised from the pact, saying AT executive committee meeting to be held in Dar es Salaam tomorrow will disclose the sum. The AT president said the only way for the country to perform well at the next year’s Olympics is early preparations.

He said the money raised will help AT to organise athletes’ camp at the end of  September.

Gidabuday said Tanzania Olympic Committee (TOC) is aware of the pact. TOC secretary Filbert Bayi could not be reached for comment.  

Gidabuday said plans are underway to organise a fund raising walk from Ujiji to Dar es Salaam.

He also said as part of its fundraising strategy a marketing film will be on hire to create documentaries, videos for popular sports personalities and other tourist attraction areas to post them on you tube and other popular forums.

“This time around, we are very serious on preparations for the Olympics; we want to make sure that our team is well prepared before the Games. We will use any means available to see that next year Tanzania athletes are coming home with medals”, he said.

Athletics trio to train in Eldoret

International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF)

Three Tanzanian athletes, Fabian Sulle, Fabian Joseph and Bazil John, leave for Kenya today to take part in a one-year training camp at t Eldoret-based Kipchoge Keino Academy.

 

The camp, according to Tanzanian Olympic Committee (TOC) secretary general Filbert Bayi, is coordinated by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) for athletes from various parts of the world, who are competing in various distance races.

 

Bayi said it will be the second time for Tanzania to win the scholarships for its athletes at the academy. The country landed the scholarships for the first time ever in 1969, in which it sent three athletes.

 

The TOC official said Nelson, Joseph and John have signed contracts to attend training at the camp, noting that the trio will face expulsion from the camp should they entertain either absenteeism or indiscipline. 

 

He disclosed that the country’s two other athletes, Dickson Marwa and Alphonce Simbu, have been left out of the camp following the failure by the IAAF to confirm the two athletes’ participation in races sanctioned by the world athletics governing body.

 

Bayi also said Tanzanian athletes that have missed out on the camp will continue training in the country whilst waiting for scholarships from the Olympic Solidarity.

 

Athletics Tanzania (AT) secretary general Suleiman Nyambui expressed sincere appreciation to TOC for assisting the national athletics governing body to request for the scholarships.
