Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Ugandan rower Kathleen Noble made it to yet another Olympics by finishing fourth in the 2000m women\u2019s single sculls at the Africa Championships in Tunis, Tunisia this past week.<\/b><\/p>\n

Going into the final, Noble was seeded fifth of six rowers behind Togo\u2019s Akoko Komlanvi, Egypt\u2019s Ghada Ibrahim, Algeria\u2019s Nihed Benchadli, South Africa\u2019s Courtney Westley and ahead of the hosts\u2019 Sarra Zameli.<\/p>\n

In the heats of Monday, she finished second (8:25.87) behind Ghada (8:21:15) to make the semifinals, where she also finished second on Tuesday to make it to the finals.<\/p>\n

Darius Okello, Uganda\u2019s male participant was fourth in heat three of the men\u2019s single sculls with a time of 10:53.92 and therefore making it to the repechage that sent him to a classification final.<\/p>\n

Noble became the first Ugandan rower to qualify on merit to the Olympics when she made it to Tokyo 2020.<\/p>\n

The grueling training period for Tokyo took its toll on the former national swimmer and she decided to quit the competitive aspect of the sport and focus on developing athletes. Okello is one of those.<\/p>\n

However, earlier this year, she had a change of heart and decided to get back into the running for a slot in Paris.<\/p>\n
