   Baada ya viongozi wa RT kutangulia Moscow wiki jana hatimaye wanariadha wawili wameondoka leo kwa kutumia shirika la ndege ya Uturuki (Tarkish Airlines) kwenda Moscow Urusi. Wanariadha hao wanaokusudiwa kushiriki mbio za Marathon ni Msenduki Mohamed na Phaustin Musa ambao pia walikuwemo katika timu iliyokwenda Olimpiki ya London mwaka jana. Kabla ya kuondoka mmoja wao alihangaika usiku na mchana kutafuta namna ya kupata kibali cha kikazi (JWTZ), jukumu ambalo lingetakiwa kusimamiwa na viongozi wa RT waliotangulia ama basi wale waliobakia ofisini. Hata hivyo siku nne zilizopita (mimi) niliongea na mwanariadha huyo ambaye alionyesha hali ya kukata tamaa kwa kile alichodai kwamba "kazi yangu ni kufanya mazoezi ili nikaiwakilishe nchi yangu kwa uwezo wangu wote, hata hivyo kwa sababu wahusika wa RT hawanipi ushirikiano itabidi nijitose kwani Tanzania ni nchi yangu pia", alisema mwanariadha huyo ambaye aliomba namba ya simu ya ofisa moja mstaafu wa jeshi amjulishe hali

Double Olympic champion Mo Farah created history once again in Moscow as he became the first British man to win a 10,000m world title. A year on from winning the 10,000m and 5,000m in London, the 30-year-old moved a step closer to repeating his Olympic feat in the Russian capital. The Londoner saw off 2011 champion Ibrahim Jeilan in a thrilling sprint finish, crossing the line in 27 minutes and 21.71 seconds. Ethiopia's Jeilan (27:22.23) had to settle for silver, just as Farah did at the World Championships two years ago, while Paul Tanui (27:22.61) secured bronze for Kenya. Farah's victory brought the Great Britain team their first medal of the World Championships on the opening day. "I had the experience from two years ago," Farah told BBC Sport. "I knew I just had to cov

  Defending champion Edna Kiplagat of Kenya won her second world championship title in the women's marathon Saturday in Moscow, making a late surge to pull past Valeria Straneo of Italy. Kiplagat won in 2 hours, 25 minutes, 44 seconds. Straneo had led from the early minutes of the race on a flat course along the Moscow River. But Kiplagat made her move at the 40th-kilometre mark and finished nearly 15 seconds ahead of Straneo. Kayoko Fukushi of Japan won bronze. Canada's Lanni Marchant was 44th, with a time of 3:01:54, a season best. Saturday's opening amid near-empty stands left it to Usain Bolt to set the nine-day event alight Saturday night when he opens his campaign for three sprint gold medals. By that time, world-record holder Ashton Eaton will be halfway through the 10 events of the decathlon, seeking to add the world title to his Olympic gold. The American took control of the two-day decathlon early Saturday, building a big lead ov

In response to the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, the United States decided to boycott the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. President Jimmy Carter decided to have Muhammad Ali go on a five nation tour to convince African leaders to also boycott the Olympics. Ali was against the Soviet Union’s actions in Afghanistan and he was a popular figure in Africa, so for Carter this move seemed pretty logical. The five nations that Ali would visit were Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, Liberia, and Senegal. The United States government was at the time more concerned about this invasion that they were with the apartheid regime in South Africa. The general consensus on this decision seems to be that this was a bad diplomatic move on Carter’s part. Some officials in Tanzania questioned why Muhammad Ali was sent on a diplomatic mission and one questioned if the United States would have sent Chris Evert to London to talk with the British. It also didn’t help matters that Ali was poo
