THE Olympics are the pinnacle of every athlete’s sporting endeavour.
It is the World Cup of all sports brought to one city.
This year’s Olympics are being hosted by Paris in France.
Denilson Cyprianos, the youngest of the three swimming sensation brothers — (Andy and Brendon) — will be part of the seven-member Zimbabwe team for this year’s Olympics.
He is going to take part in swimming.
It is an historic moment for the family as two of his brothers earned college colours in the US and even made a bid to compete at the Games at their prime.
On Monday evening, Zimpapers Sport caught up with their mother, Nokuthula, at their Khumalo home in Bulawayo.
Their father, Edson, is late.
“As a family, we are very proud. It’s been his dream, his dad’s dream and us, as a family, swimming has been part of us,” said Nokuthula.
“It’s been his dream.
“It’s been mixed emotions, he has been through a lot, losing his dad who was his coach, it was not easy for him, he went through a difficult time, he managed to pick himself up, his dad would have been very proud.”
It was always Edmore’s wish that his boys grow up and flourish in the sport.
