Swimmers can do better in 2012
BEIJING - A medal in the 50m freestyle of the 2012 London Olympic Games is not an absolute impossibility but how it’s achieved is one question every Rwandan should ask themselves. For starters, Olympic debutant Jackson Niyomugabo finished second in his heat (27:74) seconds while three-time Olympian Pamela Girimbabazi finished third (39:78) and yet the pair did not get any significant preparations.
