Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZIMBABWEAN sprinters Tapiwanashe Makarawu and Makanakaishe Charamba qualified to the finals of the 200m finals at the Paris Olympics in France last night.<\/p>\n

Both finished third in their respective heats but booked their spots into tonight’s finals as non-automatic qualifiers.<\/p>\n

They will face off with some of the world’s best sprinters in search of a historic podium finish.<\/p>\n

Makanakaishe Charamba was the first Zimbabwean in the track in Heat 1 and managed to clock 20.31seconds behind winner Letsile Tebogo of Botswana (19.96) and USA sprinting superstar Noah Lyles who finished second with a time of 20.08.<\/p>\n

Makarawu competed in Heat 3 which was claimed by American Erriyon Knighton with a time of 20.09. Joseph Fahnbulleh of Liberia finished second with a time of 20.12 while Makarawu clocked 20.16 to cross the finish line and qualify as one of the fastest losers to ensure that Africa have a strong representation in the final.<\/p>\n

Another merican sprinter Kenny Bednarek also qualified by winning the other heat with a time of 20.00 seconds, ahead of Alexander Ogando of Dominic Republic who secured his ticket to the final after his impressive second-place finish in 20.09.<\/p>\n

Defending champion Andre de Grasse of Canada ran his heat in 20.41 seconds and failed to qualify for the final.<\/p>\n

The top six qualifiers finished within the top two spots in their heat, while Charamba and Makarawu marked the next two fastest times overall.<\/p>\n
