Katika medani ya kimichezo Tanzania, historia ya kuletwa medali ya kwanza katika mshindano ya kimataifa ilitekelezwa na mwanamama Theresia Dismas Watanzania hatukumjua na hata tukatabiri kwamba mama yetu Theresia Dismas hayupo duniani kama nilivyowahi kuandika katika blog hii.  Ukweli ni kwamba mtanzania wa kwanza kufungua pazia la medali yupo hai na kwamba watanzania tuanze juhudi za kumtambulisha kwa viongozi wakuu wa serikali. Nilipoandika story kuwa mwanamke ndiye aliyeleta medali wa kwanza wengi walistuka maana historia hii inayowainua wanawake ilifichwa kwa muda mrefu bila shaka kutaka kupotosha ukweli.

Chama cha Netiboli Tanzania (Chaneta) kilitangaza kuiondoa timu hiyo kutokana na kukosa fedha za gabarone, Botswana kushiriki mashindano ya Afrika ya kutafuta tiketi ya kwenda Kombe la Dunia. Huenda kwa mara ya kwanza tungeshuhudia Taifa Queens ikikata tiketi ya kushiriki michuano hiyo mikubwa, lakini ndoto hizo ziliyeyushwa na Chaneta. Chaneta ilitembeza bakuli la kutafuta fedha za kufanikisha safari hiyo, lakini haikufanikiwa. Kushindwa kwa Taifa Queens kwenda kwenye mashindano hayo ni mwendelezo wa timu za Taifa kukosa mashindano muhimu. Shirikisho la Riadha Tanzania (RT) pia limekuwa likijiendesha kwa mtindo huo, hali kadhalika kwa vyama vya ngumi, kikapu, mpira wa meza, judo na
