Zimbabwe will not be represented in any of the team sports at next year’s
Olympic Games after the national women’s hockey side ended the African
Zone qualifying tournament winless in Nairobi, Kenya, at the weekend, The
Herald reported on Tuesday.

The Zimbabwe women’s side found the going tough at the week-long
tournament where they only managed to score one goal and conceded 14 in
four matches against hosts Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and Ghana.

The women’s Olympic Games qualifying tournament was held simultaneously
with the men’s competition in Nairobi.

Zimbabwe were not represented in the men’s qualifiers after the Hockey
Association of Zimbabwe failed to raise enough money to send a team.

The Zimbabwe women’s team were only able to travel to Nairobi after they
received some financial assistance from the Olympic Solidarity through
the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee.

The failure by the team to make the grade at the Nairobi tournament will
leave Zimbabwe without a representative side in any of the team sports
during next year’s Olympic Games in Beijing.
