Namibia picks strong contenders for AG

Twenty-nine sport codes have been announced for the 2019 Africa Games (AG), with about 7 000 athletes geared to scoop medals at the games. Namibia will participate in ten codes, namely athletics, boxing, cycling, fencing, karate, shooting, swimming, beach volleyball, wrestling and archery. The athletes have a huge task as they eye qualification to the 2020 Olympic Games which will be held in Tokyo, Japan. “It's going to be a tough competition but we go to Morocco to compete,” said Commonwealth medallist boxer Jonas Junias Jonas. Local sprinter Ernst Narib also added that the team looks strong and doing well is the focus. “We won't leave any stone unturned,” he said.
