African championships just before the Olympics is usually a great chance for smaller nations to grab couple of quotas, but this one has been a disaster so far.

Gambia missed standard in men's 200m by 0.02s, Burkina Faso in men's triple jump by 0.04, Lesotho in men's 10000m by few seconds and so on...

I hope that all of them will be in Rio after all, thanks invitation places

Swaziland's 200 meter runners (W + M) were getting closer to the standards, but Masenjwa got DSQ'ed in the semi's and whatever happened to his team mate, no idea..

Wow, she's going fast now..

 

I'm just throwing it out there: she'll run sub-11:10 this year 

I agree as she is just 18 and sprinters peak at 23-24.................. I feel she will become some one like PT Usha was ...... an asian phenom but she will not be able to come close to the Jamaican or African american sprinters

She's 18?! I had totally missed that 

 

I thought she was like 25 or something..well alright then, she's going for sub-11 if IAAF rules don't change

THIS IS SO SAD!!!!

And I even forgot to mention the nearest miss. Senegal failed to qualify in men's 400m hurdles by 0.01s (they still have 0 athletes in athletics).
