SEASONED long distance-runners Cuthbert Nyasango and Wirimai Juwawo return to the Olympic Games this weekend hoping to leave an impression when they compete in the men’s marathon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday.
Both athletes will be making their second appearance at the Games.
They are expected to leave for Brazil tomorrow.
They will be joined by United States-based Pardon Ndhlovu, who will be making his maiden appearance.
Nyasango and Juwawo put up an incredible performance at the 2012 London Olympic Games when they finished seventh and 15th respectively.
However, it remains to be seen if the two athletes will be able to pull another surprise in Rio.
Nyasango yesterday said he is geared for the race before adding that he is looking forward to representing his country for the second time at the global sporting showcase.
