| Paul Etia-Ndoumbe of Cameroon competes in the men's semi-final |
A sport known to very few in Africa and definitely a sport with a very low participation rate, Olympians from Cameroon, Niger and Zimbabwe were impressive in the Rowing Men's Single Sculls at Eton Dorney today.
In the semi-final E group, Hamadou Djibo-Issaka of Niger finished 4th while Zimbabwe's James Fraser-Mackenzie finished 3rd and Cameroon's Paul Etia-Ndoumbe finished 5th in the semi-final E group.
Fun fact : Rowing is ranked as one of the most difficult sports in the world according to ESPN.

Had no idea rowing was one of the most difficult sports in the world - but I can see why!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know African did rowing, something new. I love it and it proves we are not afraid of the water.
