 Good evening and welcome to Sports Friday and a lot has been happening in the world of sports as usual we are here to break it down for you and tell you what's coming, what's happened and each and everything that has happened in the world of sports I am your host Edio Goe and joining me on set today is Nana Duran Edgar Bueha who will be my analyst of the day. To begin with let's start with the tensions as the lioness qualified for the 2020 olympics that are soon to come. Now the National Women's Rugby 7 team Kenya lioness have qualified for the 2020 Kenyan olympics after cruising into the cup finals at the ongoing African 7s in Tunisia. Despite the victory the 7s and the 15 national teams have gone for a major continental world tournaments without any support from the government. The Kenya ladies on Tuesday protested lack of attention from the government upon arrival from Tunisia while they qualified for the 2020 Tokyo olympics. First it was during the world rugby 7 series qualifiers in April on Kong where the team reached the semi finals and the 2021 world cup African qualifiers. The 15s that was also the rugby African cup in August this year where the lioness finished second behind South Africa. Now Edgar it has been often been claimed that normally we tend to give support mostly to the male rugby team rather than the female rugby team. What do you have to say about this? Ok, looking at this matter, on a bad day how and how a ke kwenda katikaha machindano, they wanted to prove a point. They wanted to prove a point that as Elliot Kipchogge said, no human is limited. If obasi wali kwenda katikaha machindano wali taka kufanya kuelika bisena tukona kwa mba ata lichia awa kukosa wali wafadili waka waza kufanya kueli. Naia li poa, alaf kumiktu mwoda minu kwa nimake shangaga. Now, a hatu isi marakwanza wa dapatiwa support. Na ofkos tumukwa apahivi tumukwa tukila na me kaga kila akati venye a national team as dapatiwa gi support kila akati, especially the female rugby teams. No, especially the female teams, not the rugby team but female teams. But apahivi tumi fika, this is not the first time that it is happening. Ofkos most likely this is not the last time it happened. So what do we do? Where do we go from this place to us having a very safe place? And this is before the games. Now what do we do about that? What we should actually do, as I always say, to hangali michezu e tu kama kazi, to seeji tu kama hangali michezu kama michezu. And this female rugby team, ni tumambali na fa kupigia upato sana na kuhu, pungezu kwa sababu, lichia awa kukosa wali wafadili, wama onisha kwa mba, sisi tu naweza na sisi tu naweza. Ni ni kuipia kwa pia wafadili, changamoto na serikali, kwa mbe nafa wangi e kati na kwa waza kusa ide iti. Well, all the best for them as they proceed to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. We hope that by the time yutukuna fika all will be sorted and the financial issues that they are facing at the moment will all be gone. Now, as we still on rugby, Sevens kicks off this weekend as Fenny is eager to test the level of the local boys. Now Kenya coach Paul Fenny has described Shujia and Moran's opponent as this weekend Safari Sevens has tough and interesting. Mwambakwani Sinjera and William Mbaka of Kenya Haliquins are back in the Kenya Shujia side that will be counted by Andrew Amonde of Kenyan Commercial Bank KCB that is at this year's Safari Sevens this weekend. Injera and Mbaka make a return to Kenya Shujia falls after staying out of the hole last season, they are among the 16 players, 16 players who had boycotted training over slashed salaries and allowances. The team also has Jacob Oje from KCB who captained the team last season Nelson Oyo from Nakuru Bush Mwale from homeboys and Michael Wanjala from homeboys and Daniel Tabu from Mwambak. Jeff Olwoch of homeboys will captain the Moran's who have in their ranks the likes of youngster John Stone or Lindy from KCB and Geoffrey Okwach from KCB and Harman Humwa from Queens. Sevens is one of the most interesting rugby events in Kenya I would say because I have attended a couple. Kenyan has a new coach who was appointed recently and so much expectation is on him alafupiakunelia pressure considering that the Kenyan rugby team is one very much respected especially the Sevens are very respected worldwide because of the kind of performance they have been putting through. So what do you see are his biggest challenges to kenda kwaii nini hitonamiki sevens that is coming tomorrow, this weekend. The coach that has been appointed has one big challenge, kuhandulio pressure where you are wuna pwaendak maaliflani and bako watu wama kwa ki fanyandizuri wuna kwa na ilio pressure, awad yama last mwa fanyandizuri. Aki handulio pressure, basi shukwatu saa oka sababu minamini rugby sevens kuzote siu fanyatukweli now. Kuzote siu fanyatukweli now. Okay, because the team that I cona at least this time is better. Last time ule ko chimonyale kuwale kwa na a lot of issues considering the fact that because of salary again, she does a pesa. Imanza kuwintensi now. Anyway, again, she does a pesa zili fanyama players waka protest last time ine nini ilifanya kenya wali and I perform so much kwa za kwa the world rugby two is that will and I perform in a very, very incredible manner that at least two are the world. So wuna na this time, ule kochakitumi at the best place that we have which most of them wame wame attend the camp. Wuna na nezaka make it through at least ku come up with a good squad with the competition that I heard of him. Kitucha kuwanza kitucha kuwanza tutoongelia kuwanza Shida a pesa. Shida a pesa? Ya tizia tizia. Kampani shil steppi na oeze ku kwa sababu rugby sevens ni vitu ambabu tumoana wimefanya wimefanya kueli katika ita efei kwa sasa Shida a pesa efei kwa rugby sevens. Alafu kitu kengine ni wuna jiyo mchizaidi kitu chia mana chia mchizaidi nile motivation. Sasa kama wumlipi mitu jiyo motivation ita kuwa. If o basia kihandoli operation a kuwa na motivation there will be good results. We will hold the best coach for any has he prepares for the oncoming rugby sevens that are to be played this weekend. We hope and wish all the best for the rugby team. Now, recently the president opened the Kenya safari rallies which had been well, of course, nzakasa maiku kwa for so much a long time but the president recently opened it and it has been lacking some financial support. But safari kum are the latest sponsors of the East Africans Classic Rally. The 2019 East African Safari Classic Rally has secured a partnership deal with safari kum. Safari kum will pump in 13 million sponsorship to the ninth edition of the famous East African Safari Rally. The amount will support operations, logistics and communications during the rally which will take place between November 27th and December 6th. The rally is set to cover more than 4,500 kilometers in Kenya and Tanzania over nine days. Now, iiniki tuwa mimi kwa zana penda safari rally kwa sabina 2.0 Okay, CG much about rally that I won't lie but at least I know enough to know that it's really fun to go to. Now, kumekwana shi dakada a little bit of obstacles since irodishwe that is to put preparations come out of kumek it's safe enough you only challenge it but then there's also been the problem of finance that the safari rally has been lacking now. Safari kum coming in which are one of the biggest sponsors of the sport right now considering sport pace metoroka What do you see? How do you see this one will play at this time? Okay, looking at this matter kitu chakwanza ni kwa pangasa safari kum kweza kwenge katiga sponsorship ya safari rally Nasa ibenye nene kwa atstakot nwa tegemi atu sana? Kitu kengine ni challenge kwa other companies we have some other bigger companies that should also invest in sports. Now coming to this matter kuna na sasa safari kum how to say watakone omoral na watawata fanyan nanatumai kwa ma matukia wata kwa tumo Well, ata mimi nili kwa nanaikia but kuna kitu mwa da safari rally it's just not about I think people I think most people are afraid to invest in it because there was a time that people really invested in it and then it was removed and now it's back and so people don't really know where it stands So I think people are waiting for this event and the truth very well and then what can I name but then again what do we do now sasa vinyakuna sponsors vinyakuna sponsors kitu kwa nzani we challenge ourselves Now do I confano sport kama safari rally see sport yambayo Kenya tumizuea kwa sa na na see sport yambayo sisi tumizu na sibisha na Sisi vijanwa sasa but vijanwa era yamui watawalu kwa na jokuyusu na wali attend incredibly kwa saba mimi na kumu kankiyom toi safari rally lugu gena tanga zokilasi kwa so yes vijanwa sa hi wakarne hi sibisha sa na na humichezwa safari rally iwa basi ni kwa hiwa ni changamoto kwa vijanwa sisi kwa mba we step in and it's also a sport like any other Well all in for the safari rally and we will be hoping that kila kitu tia na po because most of us are really really really really really really hoping to go to the next safari rally is that we've been missing for quite a while remember it's been off for quite a while now but we'll be taking a small short commercial break as we tend to look upon other things but when we get back we do look at the Bridget Cosgate setting a new world marathon record all that for you in sports and more as we come back
