Vongai : Welcome to a very special bonus episode of ZimExcellence. At the time of recording it is Saturday August 21st 2021 and we are 3 days away from the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. I would love to take the time to acknowledge and celebrate the amazing athletes representing us at the games. They are our history makers. They are ZimExcellence.
A massive congratulations goes to Pamela Vimbai Shumba who qualified for the Women's 100m and a massive congratulations goes to Vimbai Zvinowanda who qualified for the Women's 200m. Their coach is Mildred Baye.
For anyone who thinks they're hearing double...yes both of our athletes representing us at the Paralympic games are named Vimbai so #TeamVimbai y'all. [chuckles] Let's celebrate #TeamVimbai.
