By

TOC secretary general Filbert Bayi

Government and sports associations which represented the country at the 2014 Scotland Games and Tanzania Olympic Committee (TOC) will meet on Tuesday in Kibaha for the postmortem of the athlete’s results at Glasgow games.
 TOC secretary general Filbert Bayi said in an interview yesterday that the meeting has been organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation which financed local athlete’s foreign training camps prior to the Games.
He said those expected to attend the meeting are top officials from Ministry For Information, Culture, Youth and Sports, National Council (NSC), officials of national sports associations, coaches and athletes who competed at the Scotland Games.
‘It will be like a postmortem of the Scotland Games, this meeting was called by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Bernard Membe whose presence has been confirmed, also the Minister For Information, Culture, Youth and Sports will be available. It will be a meeting where all issues concerning the team trip and performance in Scotland will be discussed,’ he said.  
In a surprise move, Bayi said he is still looking for funds to facilitate the meeting that other sports stakeholders will also attend. However, Bayi said sounded very confident to raise that money before the date of the meeting. 
He said the meeting will shape the future of Tanzania sports.
Team Tanzania returned empty handed from the Games represented by athletes from boxing, runners, cyclists, judokas, table tennis, swimming and wrestling. With the exception of cyclists, the rest attended foreign camps organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation under the sports diplomacy.  
Athletics Tanzania (AT) secretary general Suleiman Nyambui who traveled to Scotland as head coach of athletes confirmed to have received the invitation from TOC on the meeting.
He said he has already prepared his report on the team’s performance at the Games and his recommendations to improve athletics in the country.
‘After leaving Scotland, there was a communication from Government that all coaches who travelled with athletes at the Games should prepare reports on  performance and what should be done to improve in next Games, I have already submitted my report to the team manager of Tanzania team at,’ he said.
Cycling Association of Tanzania chairman Geoffrey Muhagama who was also a Tanzania cycling coach at the games, said he is ready for the meeting with the government.
‘I’m aware of the meeting and ready for it. I will advise the government to consider giving all sports association’s annual subsidies and also employ at least two sports marketers.
‘I believe if the government will reintroduce subsides to sports associations, performance will improve as associations will be able to organise many events which will be used to select athletes for international events and sports markers duty will be to look for companies to sponsor associations. Iam one of those people who strongly believe that sports has potential to attract corporate sponsors only that there are no qualified sports markers,’ he said.
Boxing Federation (BFT) secretary general Mashaka Makore confirmed that he will attend the meeting and said he has prepared his recommendations for improvement.
TOC chairman Rashid Gulam said winning medals at international events like Olympic Games needs early preparations, he said some countries already  have started preparations for the Brazil 2016 edition.
‘Because our government has shown strong willingness to support sports in the country, I think it’s time to start preparations for future events,’ he said.

Ryan Lochte's claims prompted a spoof poster to be displayed at the athletics stadium US swimmer Ryan Lochte has apologised for his behaviour in Rio and "for not being more careful and candid". The gold medallist had claimed that he and a group of fellow US swimmers had been robbed at a petrol station. But CCTV footage contradicted that story, showing the men had vandalised the petrol station after partying. Mr Lochte  tweeted : "I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that I am sorry." He said he had waited to issue the statement until it was clear that his teammates would be returning to the US. Rio's Mayor, Eduardo Paes, accepted the Americans' apologies: "I confess that my only emotion towards them is pity and contempt," he said. "It's a shame that they're such weak characters, that they have such personality flaws and it's up to the American Olympic Committee to sort it o...
