AFTER an outstanding performance at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, sprinter Makanakaishe Charamba is looking at another exciting season as he eyes qualification for the forthcoming World Athletics Championships.
The meet is scheduled for September 13 to 21 in Tokyo, Japan.
The United States-based athlete made the men’s 200m final at the Olympics and finished eighth.
“After the Olympics, I had a whole month just to rest and refresh and reset for the off-season training.
“I was out basically the whole of September, then I started lifting in October. Then we got back on the track the second week of October. I have just been working. I am looking forward to a good season. I have been training hard and I believe I am going to qualify,” said Charamba.
While for the Olympics he made the cut for 200m, for the global meet he is hoping to qualify for both 100m and 200m.
The qualifying time for 100m is 10.00seconds and for 200m its 20.16seconds.
Charamba is confident he will attain the entry standards as he builds on his Olympics experience.
