Emmanuel Okwi /Mchezaji maarufu wa soka HATIMAYE mshambuliaji wa kimataifa wa Uganda, Emmanuel Okwi, jana amesaini kuichezea klabu yake ya zamani ya Simba kwa mkataba wa miaka miwili. Habari zilizopatikana jana jioni, zilisema nyota huyo ambaye hatima yake ndani ya klabu ya Yanga ilikuwa gumzo kubwa, jana alitarajiwa kusaini mkakaba huo kuwatumikia Wekundu wa Msimbazi kwa kipindi kingine. Kurejea kwa Okwi Msimbazi, kunamweka katika wakati mgumu mchezaji Benard Musoti, nyota wa kimataifa wa Kenya, kwani sasa ni yeye sasa anayechungulia dirisha la kutokea, ama Pierre Kwizera. Okwi kutua Simba, ni kama kurejea nyumbani kwani ndio klabu aliyojiunga nayo kwa mara ya kwanza nchini akitokea Uganda na kung’ara nayo, kabla ya kuihama na kujiunga Etoile du Sahel ya Tunisia na kisha Yanga. Sheria za usajili za Ligi Kuu Tanzania Bara zinataka klabu kuwa na nyota wa kigeni wasiozidi watano na mbali ya Okwi, nyota wengine wa kimataifa katika kikosi cha Simba ni, Raphael Kiongera, Joseph O...

Bernard Membe/Waziri mambo ya Nje Viongozi wa vyama vya michezo wanapaswa kurejesha serikalini ripoti ya jinsi maandalizi, safari na mashindano yalivyofanyika wakati wa mashindano ya Glasgow. Itakuwa ni kosa kubwa iwapo vyama vya michezo vitakabidhi ripoti zao kwa mkurugenzi wa michezo, badala yake viongozi wa vyama wakabidhi wenyewe. Pia itakuwa ni haki kabisa wataalamu wa michezo husika kushirikishwa siku ya ripoti hiyo kuwasilishwa ili nao watoe ushauri wao wa kitaalamu. Wachezaji walioshiriki pia wahusishwe ili waweze kusema yao ya mioyoni kwa uhuru na uwazi. ‘Hayo yakifanyika tutafanya vizuri safari ijayo kwani tutakuwa tumejua wapi tulijikwaa’

Mafuru hakupanda ulingoni katika mashindano ya Jumuiya ya Madola ambayo yalimalizila Agosti 3, huko Glasgow, Scotland kwasababu walizodai kwamba alishikwa na tumbo la kuharisha.

Five years on from setting his 100m and 200m world records, Usain Bolt says breaking 19 seconds for the half-lap event remains his goal On August 16, 2009, Usain Bolt broke the world 100m record in Berlin and four days later did the same over double the distance. Five years on, the six-time Olympic gold medallist says breaking 19 seconds for 200m remains his goal and is an achievement that he believes is a “possibility”. Having struggled with injury in 2014, Bolt has ended his season early and is targeting a return to training in October ahead of a year which includes the IAAF World Championships, an event at which the 28-year-old has won eight gold medals. Your 100m record has now stood for five years. Why do you think it has remained for so long? Usain Bolt: I don’t know really. For me, I’ve struggled with injuries over the past five years, so it’s been hard to be in the condition that I was in Berlin to really challenge that record. In London I felt go...

Mhe.Dr.Fenella Mukangara / Waziri wa Michezo Wakati wa utawala wa Baba wa Taifa, Marehemu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, Tanzania iliingia kwenye rekodi ya mataifa tishio barani Afrika katika michezo. Wakati huo, wanamichezo wa taifa waliaminika kwa Watanzania kila waliposema wanakwenda kushindana nje ya nchi. Si kama Tanzania ilishushiwa muujiza bali ilitokana na namna viongozi wa Serikali na wale wa michezo wa wakati huo walivyotambua wajibu wao. Historia zinaonyesha namna michezo ilivyofanyika kwa mpangilio kuanzia ngazi za shule, kata, wilaya, mkoa na taifa, vipaji vilionekana na Taifa likafanya vizuri kimataifa. Tanzania iling’ara kwenye mashindano ya Olimpiki, Jumuiya ya Madola na Afrika wakati huo kutokana na namna taifa lilivyotengeneza timu za ushindani kuanzia ngazi ya wilaya, mikoa na hata taifa hivyo kuwa na akiba ya vijana wengi wenye vipaji vya michezo. Tofauti na sasa ambapo kadri siku zinavyozidi kwenda ndivyo jahazi la michezo ya Tanzania linazidi ku...

Katibu Mkuu wa Kamati ya Olimpiki Tanzania (TOC), Filbert Bayi amesema ripoti ya timu za Tanzania zilizoshiriki michezo ya Jumuiya ya Madola imekwama baada ya Serikali kutaka wanamichezo wote waliokwenda Scotland kuhusishwa wakati itakapowasilishwa kwao. Bayi alisema Serikali imetaka wachezaji walioshiriki kwenye michezo hiyo kuwepo wakati vyama vyao vikiwasilisha ripoti zao za Madola. “Ripoti zimechelewa kwa kuwa Serikali imetaka wanamichezo wote waliokuwa Scotland kuwapo katika kikao cha tathmini, hiyo ni gharama, hivyo tuko kwenye mchakato wa kutafuta fedha ili kufanikisha hilo,” alisema. Alisema gharama za kufanya tathmini hiyo ni Sh 8 milioni, ambazo pia zitatumika kuwagharamia wachezaji wa mikoani walioshiriki michezo hiyo kuja Dar es Salaam ili kushiriki katika tathmini hiyo. “Hii ni mara ya kwanza ripoti ya Madola na tathmini yake kufanyika kwa kushirikis...
