Oko,

To answer all the questions you are throwing on this subject, please try to
find out why 7 "Jirom Nyari" Gambian officials should accompany 2 athletes
to the games.

Prince.

NB:
Adama Njie is not a JJC to the Olympics. This is the THIRD Olympic Games
that she has represented the Gambia.
She was also in Atlanta and Sydney.

Kabirr,

By the way the 100 meters men is done.....Great race !

This story by Mathew Davis on the BBC page is facinating.I Checked the
section EXCHANGE PROGRAMME.

We all have our noses in one way." The lack of money and facilities".It
has been said already.

But the IOC have spent over 100.million US dollars in developing
countries including The Gambia in 2004,there are sufficient exchange
programme and financial funds.Why ain't we in this,or is it lack of
Know-How ? It is all in the approach.

It was also interesting to read the remarks of the girl in the interview.
She said that:
" The Lack of resources affect me greatly .She also said that
I was faster than the boy who moved to Norway, now
he is running faster than her ".

To help our young atheletes we have to start now with our preparations
for the 2008 Olympics.with events,programmes and workshops.This is a
good time to start looking into the future of Gambia's role in Arts
sports and culture in Africa and the world.

Excellent piece.Anyway !
Oko
