Eritrea becomes Africa's Champion in Cycling
The Eritrean Cycling team taking part in the African Cycling Championship pulled
through to get the championship title. South African team has been winning
Africa's cycling championships and All African Games but got outranked by
Eritrea this time.
In the first day team time trial, Eritrean team finished first outpacing the
second place by over two minutes. Two minutes in time trial is huge and shows
the superiority of the Eritrean Team. Team Captain, Frekalsi Debesai, was not
impressed with the time due to weather implying that Eritrea team could do
better in ideal situations. Individual time trial was by Daniel and the 144km
road race had Daniel and Meron winning first and second place respectively. The
top two Eritrean cyclists, Daniel teklehaimanot and Meron Russom, have now saved
spots for the 2012 Olympics.
The hope of the future for the Eritrean Cycling Team is that they will dominate
African Cycling !
Congratulation to the Team !
