Gambia Olympic delegation to Beijin

Editor

Kindly allow me space in your widely read newspaper to commend the Gambia National Olympic Committee (GNOC) and The Gambia Athletic Association for their efforts in registering at least 3 participants to the Olympic Games and two young Gambian delegates participating in the Olympic youth camp.

 The fact that our dear country, under the guidance of GNOC, will participate is an achievement, because there are many countries in the world that could not send a single participant because of instability or lack of effective management of their sports. We pray that the peace in our country remains perfect.

There is no need for any personal politics that should disunite Gambians. We pray for the successful participants to win us medals; nonetheless their participation to raise our flag high amongst all countries in the world is worthy of commendation.

The two young Gambians taking part in the Olympic youth camp should inspire Gambian youths to be more committed in doing righteous things and having good attitudes. It is expected that when the youths return back more fora would be organised to share their experience and inspire their fellow youths.
