+ - 19:10, April 14, 2008
Tanzanian President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete arrived on Monday in Tianjin, the largest port city in northern China, as he continued his six-day visit to China that is to end on Tuesday.
Kikwete expressed gratitude that China had chosen Tanzania as a leg of the Olympic torch relay, saying that the relay, which helps strengthen the friendship between China and Tanzania, has profound meaning for his country.
Tanzania will send its best athletes to the Beijing Olympic Games, he added.
USAIN BOLT sensationally smashed another world record as he stormed to 200 metres glory. The Jamaican beat Michael Johnson's 12-year best by 0.02sec as he ran 19.30. The 21-year-old, who was HALF A SECOND ahead of his nearest competitor, adds the 200m title to the 100m he won in record time on Saturday. Bolt, dubbed 'Lightning', becomes the first man to win the Olympic sprint double for 24 years.
He said: "It's a great feeling and a dream come true. "I just wanted to be a champion but to break the world record is amazing. "I told everyone that I would give it my all and I did. "I'm so happy with myself and I proved to everyone that you can do anything if you put your mind to it." American Johnson, who was commentating on the race, said: "He's superman.
"Everything about that performance was incredible."
Britain's Christian Malcolm was 1.1sec behind Bolt as he finished in sixth.
nani kichwa cha mwendawazimu?
...No wonder we are so poor in Sports, Agriculture and Vocational training, while most of the well groomed 'academics' have either left the country for greener postures abroad, or have turned into politicians kama Mungai!
Je, kuna mawazo yoyote kuhusu jinsi Tanzania inavyoweza kujipanga ili mwaka 2012 historia isijirudie?
