Of the 5 Zimbabwean athletes that represented at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, 2 of them were swimmers. The first one, Donata Kotai is known for breaking national records set by legendary swimmer Kirsty Coventry herself. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it to the finals.

The second swimmer, US based Peter Wetzlar, broke the national record for freestyle 100m race at 50.31 seconds. The previous record was 50.50 seconds which he also held. Unfortunately, this record was unable to qualify him into the swimming finals at the Olympics. Wetzlar needed to come in the top 16 to make it to the semi finals, however he  finished 42 out of 70 swimmers

In the years that Zimbabwe took part in the Olympics for swimming, the team has always been made up of white people. For some nationals, this reflected on the said inability of black people to swim as well as white people.

This year’s Olympics have changed things up. Zimbabwe is being represented in swimming by a black person for the first time. Her name is Donata Katai and she is still a 17 year old. At such a young age she is making huge strides. She was also the one to break Kirsty Coventry’s swimming record and currently holds 200 swimming medals. Donata will even be the country’s flag bearer during the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic games today, Friday 23 July 2021.

She was previously interviewed by BBC What’s New. Watch the interview below:

Donata is not the only swimmer that will be representing Zimbabwe the Tokyo,Japan 2020 Olympics. View the full list of Zimbabwean Olympians here.

The Tokyo Japan Olympic games are fast approaching. Despite some setbacks in the beginning that resulted from the Corona virus pandemic, the games are finally set to begin on the 21st of July 2021. Zimbabwe is proud to have 5 of its own sports persons representing the country at this occasion.

Zimbabwe will be represented in swimming, athletics and golf. 5 sports persons from Zimbabwe were chosen to represent. They will be accompanied by some coaches and a few others. However, the delegation has caused quite  stir as many Zimbabweans seem to agree that the delegation is an embarrassment to the country.

View the list of and delegation below:

Yes, you read that right! 5 athletes are to be accompanied by 8 personnel as “Athlete Support Personnel.” A delegation of 13!

The athletes are yet to enjoy several experiences including using the anti-sex beds reserved specifically for these sports persons.

The general sentiments in regards to the Zimbabwean Olympics delegation can be summed up by one twitter comment which read:

“This is a team of serious competitors. Its shameful for us to only field 5 athletes and a battalion of officials. Its not necessary. This is not an extra-ordinary summit on sports its actual competition, so field competitors.”

The Olympics are to be held this year from the 21st of July in Tokyo, Japan.  A few set backs were experienced as a result of the Corona virus pandemic, however preparations are almost complete as the games draw nearer. One of the preparations set in place has caused a buzz. This was the decision to give the athletes anti-sex beds in a bid to help them stay focused on the goal.

The beds are made of cardboard material and have a maximum weight of 200kgs. This ensures that if the athletes attempt to take part in extracurricular activities, the beds will collapse. They have also been encouraged to keep the condoms they are given before the games begin as a souvenir.

This is what the beds look like:
