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.

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.
