BENKI ya Azania imeingia makubaliano na Shirikisho la Riadha Tanzania (RT) kuendesha mashindano ya riadha kwa watoto walio chini ya umri wa miaka 16 yajulikanayo kama Kids Run Dar es Salaam yatakayofanyika Juni 5.

Hafla ya makubaliano hayo ilifanyika jana na kushuhudiwa na Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam, Paul Makonda. Benki hiyo imewekeza shilingi milioni 130 kwa ajili ya mbio hizo. Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Azania, Godfrey Dimoso, alisema benki hiyo inamilikiwa na Watanzania na wamejitosa kudhamini mbio hizo baada ya kukubaliana na RT.

“Hili kwetu ni tukio la kihistoria kwa kuwa benki yetu ni ya kwanza kudhamini riadha tukiwa sekta binafsi, hivyo tumekubaliana na wenzetu wa RT kushirikiana katika hilo,” alisema Dimoso. Kwa upande wake, Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa RT, William Kalaghe, alisema ni mara ya kwanza mashindano hayo kupata wadhamini nje ya Serikali, hivyo itasaidia katika kukuza vipaji vya watoto.

“Hili ni tukio la kihistoria kwetu RT kupata mdhamini nje ya Serikali, tunatarajia watoto zaidi ya 2,000 watashiriki mbio hizi. “Miji mingi duniani imekuwa maarufu kutokana na riadha, nasi tunaamini kuwa mbio hizi zikisimamiwa ipasavyo zitasaidia kwa kiasi kikubwa kukuza mji wetu wa Dar es Salaam,” alisema.
Naye Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam, Makonda, aliyekuwa mgeni rasmi katika hafla hiyo, alisema watoto wengi wana vipaji, lakini hawapati fursa ya kuendelezwa.

“Kama hatujawekeza kwa watoto, hatuwezi kuendelea kama taifa, michezo si burudani pekee, bali pia ni uchumi wa mataifa mbalimbali, sisi tunazidi kushuka kwa kuwa hatuoni faida ya michezo, lakini tukijipanga vema tutaondokana na uhalifu, vijana watalitangaza taifa na pia kupunguza tatizo la ajira,” alisema Makonda.

Giniki - Runner Who Has Sights Set on Glory

May 22, 2016

Emmanuel Giniki Gisamoda in China Recently
Emmanuel Giniki stands tall among the excelling local runners who have weathered the storm to stay at the helm of Tanzania's athletic platform. Born in 1988 in a poor family based in Hanang, Katesh, Manyara, Giniki's running talent can be traced back since his childhood at the Jorodom Primary School.
"I am coming from a poor family where we sometimes went without food. That was our daily life. This is what encouraged me to train hard and I am determined to use athletics to bring my family out of poverty," he said during an exclusive interview with The Citizen.
After completing primary school education in 2007, Gikini joined Ganana Secondary School in Hanang where his running talent was revealed. "I used to compete and win many championships to the extent that teachers and most of my friends suggested that I better drop lessons to concentrate on athletics," he said.
A few years later, he joined the Arusha-based Shahanga Sports Club where his talent was exposed to high profile trainers and other runners. "There I began to learn the game more professionally under the tutelage of widely experienced trainers," he noted. 
Giving a brief over his experience, the 21-year-old marathoner who has so far scooped several medals and honours at different local tournaments, said the country was blessed with many talents, but there was no progressive plan to recruit and groom them.
"Athletics Tanzania (AT) must now prepare a good programme that will deal with identifying and recruiting young talented runners from the grassroots. Tanzania has been endowed with many good runners but the athletics body is not serious enough," he revealed.
Giniki who is inspired by England runner, Mo Farah, remains optimistic that Tanzania will one day outsmart leading countries like Ethiopia if the government started supporting the runners seriously.
"Athletes face several setbacks, ranging from poor training gear, lack of high skilled trainers as well as financial capacity to feature in different international tournaments," he noted.
OLYMPIC GAMES PREPS
Giniki is, however, worried over the Tanzanian runners' performance in the forthcoming 31st edition of the world's top crowd-puller event, the Olympic Games, due to poor preparations and financial constraints.
He said for Tanzania to compete highly in the games, there was a need for long-term preparations.
He disclosed that most of the countries that excel in the Games have a good tendency of preparing their runners a year before.
"I don't have any doubts with the runners who will represent the county in the Rio De Jenairo event, but my worries are due to the poor preparations. There is no training gear so far, apart from the fact that they need several international trials before the event", he asserted.

From Rwanda : RAF deploys 46 monitors in Kigali Peace Marathon

May 22, 2016






The Rwanda Athletics Federation (RAF) has set out 46 people to monitor any cheating in the 12th edition of the Kigali International Peace Marathon today.
Over 4000 athletes from 32 nations will take part in the event which has 3 categories: 42km marathon, 21km half marathon and a 7km run for fun race.
RAF Secretary General Johnson Rukundo told Times Sport that the reason they are increasing supervision of the race is because of allegations of cheating in last year’s race.
“Some people claimed that one of our runners cheated his way to victory although there was no evidence of that. This time we are going to be a lot more vigilant and that is the reason we are using more people to monitor the race,” Rukundo said.
He further noted that; “Each running group will be led and followed by a team of these monitors who will be using motorbikes and another team will be deployed towards the finishing line.”
The Athletics federation had preferred to hire a drone from a Kenyan company that can be easily used by a mobile phone so that they crack down such athletes however according to Rukundo it was not possible to get it in time for the marathon.
“We hope this marathon will be the most successful because everything is in place,” he further added
The half marathon (21km) kicks off at 7:30am followed by the full marathon (42km) that will start fifteen minutes later while the Run for fun (7km) starts at7:50am.
The 21km race starts from Amahoro stadium via Chez Lando, Gishushu, MTN Centre Nyarutarama, Gacuriro, and back to Gishushu, Parliament, Umubano hotel and then to Gishushu, Gisementi, Tigo, University of Rwanda (former KIE), Control Technique, Sports View hotel and back to Amahoro stadium while the 42km will be twice this route.
The run for fun, which is 7km, will start from the Amahoro Stadium via University of Rwanda (former KIE), Control Technique, Sports View hotel and then back to the stadium.

T&F | Gidabuday Takes Home 5000 Meter Title At Championships

March 13, 2016

PITTSBURG, Kan. (March 11, 2016) – Freshman Sydney Gidabuday ran to a 5000 meter crown at the NCAA Division II Championships on Friday to highlight Adams State University on day one of competition from the Robert W. Plaster Center.

Gidabuday's first place mark along with a fifth place finish from the Distance Medley Relay (DMR) team currently position the Adams State University men in second place with 15 team points.

Gidabuday's 5000 meter time of 14:06.09 was enough to fend off Bryce Bradley of Grand Valley State University by 1.84 seconds. The title gives the freshman his sixth overall first place finish during the indoor season. Furthermore, he's now won the last four events he's raced dating back to his mile win at the UW Open on February 14th.

After 10 points from Gidabuday, the DMR team of Brian Baum, Robert Guinn, Kale Adams, and Oliver Aitchison supplied five team points by virtue of placing fourth in a field of 12. The Grizzlies finished in 9:49.90 in a highly contested race. Of the top eight teams, less than five-seconds separated the first through eighth place finishes.

Saturday's final in the mile will see a contingent of four Grizzlies after a superb showing in Friday's preliminary. Holding true to his national top time, Aitchison finished first in the mile prelim with a mark of 4:04.91. Also advancing were Baum in fifth (4:06.27), Chandler Reid in sixth (4:06.30), and Jackson Sayler in ninth (4:06.90).

Also advancing into a Saturday final was Jurgen Themen in the 60 meter dash. The school record-holder in the event managed a time of 6.755 to keep his indoor season alive for another day. Themen placed fifth overall but was third in his heat.

Rounding out the ASU men competitors on Friday were Chaz Butler and Dominic Cabada. Butler tabbed a time of 22.10 for 17th overall in the 200 meter dash as Cabada placed 16th in the 5000 meter run at 15:12.10.

With a third place finish in the DMR, the ASU women stand in a three-way tie for 16th in the team standings. The group of Roisin Flanagan, Jessica Scherrer, Leanne Allen, Noel Prandoni collected six team points in the event with a time of 11:28.53.

Individually, Chante Roberts placed second overall in the 800 meter prelim at 2:09.43. Roberts was ultimately the top finisher in her heat and is poised to finish strong in tomorrow's final.

Meanwhile, Kelsey Corbin was unable to advance in the mile final with a time of 5:03.55 to position her in 16th place.

Action resumes tomorrow at approximately 12:55 pm MT with the men's shot put. Adams State will be represented in the event with Zach Baxter and Sam Reid. The final event of the day is scheduled to begin at 6:15 pm MT in the form of the women's 1600 meter relay.

Akizungumza mwishoni mwa wiki mjini Kilimanjaro wakati wa Mashindano ya Kilimanjaro Marathoni 2016, ambapo GAPCO ndiyo waliodhamini upande wa Walemavu, alisema kuwa wanamichezo wengi walemavu na hata wasiowalemavu hujisahau sana kufanya mazoezi ya kutosha jambo linalowafanya wengi wao kutoweza kufanikiwa kushinda kwenye mashindano. 
Aliongeza kuwa wao kampuni ya GAPCO waliweza kujitolea kuwasaidia walemavu ili waweze kuonyesha vipaji vyao japo mwanzo waliweza kuwasisitiza wafanye mazoezi na ndiyo maana wameweza kufanya vyema. "Napenda kuwaasa wanamichezo wale walemavu na wasio walemavu, wapende kujitoa kufanya mazoezi ya kutosha maana siri ya ushindi ni mazoezi wala hakuna muujiza unaoweza kukupa ushindi kama haujajitoa kufanya mazoezi ya kutosha," alisema Irungu.

Ever since the Olympic Games of 2016 were declared, the city of Rio de Janeiro is teeming up with many activities. The Olympics in Rio are unique in its own way as they are the first of its kind to be held in a South American country. The opening ceremony will be held on August 5, 2016, and the excitement will last through to the concluding ceremony which will be held on August 21, 2016.
The Brazilian government is investing millions in preparation of the venue, and are ensuring that no stone is left unturned in its final lap. Several new structures are being constructed as well as the existing ones are getting renovated. Barra da Tijuca will be the place where the Olympic village is situated, and the players are supposed to stay there itself.
The venues for the major games will be as follows:
Maracana Stadium – opening and the closing ceremonies.
Joao Haelange Stadium –athletic events
Maria Lenk Aquatic Center –water polo, diving and swimming
Copacabana Beach – marathon swimming, beach volleyball, and triathlon
HSBC Arena –basketball, gymnastics, and trampoline
Sambadrome –archery and marathon
Maracanazinho Gymnasium –volleyball
Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas –canoeing and rowing competitions
In spite of all the negative things that are being said about the event, we cannot ignore the fact that this is going to be the most exhilarating event in the history of Rio de Janeiro.
