Dome Olympics dazzles

Coca-Cola Dome Olympics event organiser Dave Hammond says he is delighted with the way the multi-disciplined event turned out this year.Teams competed in an array of sporting fun, including inline and indoor hockey, indoor soccer, gymnastics, table tennis and basketball, among others.The annual competition took place at The Dome in Swakopmund over the weekend with 30 teams showcasing their skills.Hammond feels the competition has grown from strength to strength and was even better than the organisers expected. “This was the biggest Coca-Cola Dome Olympics to date and we are confident of growing it in the future.“We hope to make this the biggest event of its kind at the coast and urge all companies to sign up teams.“It is great for team building and has something to offer each and every individual. We would also like to thank Coca-Cola for their support,” Hammond said. Weimann's Carpentry, who has won every single edition of the Coca-Cola Dome Olympics thus far, proved to be in a league of their own once again, as the defending champions raced to yet another overall win in emphatic fashion.Second-placed Dome Dragons comprised of athletes from Namibia, Canada, New Zealand and Germany.They put up a great fight but ultimately failed to dethrone their foes. Third place went to the strong Super Heroes in Training team.Great athleticism was also witnessed in the social division, where the biggest number of teams entered.Although the rules were a bit more relaxed than for the pros, competition was fierce throughout the day. The Mugg and Bean Seniors got off to a good start and managed to keep the upper hand until the final whistle. Silver went to Swakop Tiles, while the Coastal Raiders came in third. Heated battles took place in the youth division as well. International Stars, Dome Junior Athletes and ISWB Lions made it clear from the word go that they would be in contention for the prestigious number one spot.Little separated the leading trio, but eventually, International Stars edged past the rest to claim gold. Dome Junior Athletes followed in a close second and the ISWB Lions came in third.Jesse Jackson Kauraisa
