The competition is being held alongside the elective congress of the African Aquatic continental executive board.<\/p>\n

The Gambian delegation comprises a coach, team manager, and two elite swimmers, Ousman Jobe, currently based in Thailand on a scholarship, and Aminata Nia-Maria Barrow, a US-based swimmer.<\/p>\n

In Wednesday\u2019s 100 breaststroke, Barrow advanced to the final but narrowly missed out on a medal.<\/p>\n

Undeterred, Barrow\u2019s determination paid off brightly on the third day of competition when she again dominated her heats in the women\u2019s 200 breaststroke, securing a spot in the finals taking place as we went to press last night.<\/p>\n

Another Gambian making waves at the event is GNOC official Yorro Njie, an international swimming technical Officer (ITO), who is officiating at the event.<\/p>\n

Both Jobe and Barrow are expected to do well in this Olympic qualifying event in their quest to secure spots at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.<\/p>\n
