Meanwhile Jason Dunford bagged two medals for
Kenya on wednesday in the Davis$Shirtliff
sponsored Africa Swimming championships at the Moi International
Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi, Kenya.
After winning the 100m butterfly on Tuesday, Dunford won Kenya’s
second gold and another silver in the men’s 50m butterfly
and 100m freestyle respectively to bring Kenya’s tally to five medals
which he has so far single handedly won at the end of the third day of
the 11th edition of the continental showpiece
Dunford lost the gold in a closely contested competition by being
edged out by South Africa’s Brown Myles in a time of 51.06 against
his rival’s 51.20 as Algeria’s Ousama Sahnoune won bronze by clocking
51.60.
“The pool was not visible and I could not tell whether Myles was close
to me. I thought I was quite a head of the pack and failed to
noticeMyles touching the bar ahead of me,” said Dunford.
In the 50m butterfly, Dunford returned 24.05 to secure the gold
relegating Algeria’s Ousama Sahoune to the second place in 25.49 as
Angola’s Joao Matia took the bronze by timing 25.59 to deny Kenya’s
veteran Ramadhan Vyombo who finished fourth by clocking 25.81 the last
podium finish place.
Dunford was aided by a good dive into the pool under thunderous cheer
by the home crowd at the Aquatic Complex on his way to the 50m
butterfly glory.
Kenya’s Hamdan Bayusuf was placed sixth in the men’s 200m backstroke
by timing 2:12.48 in a race won by Tunisia’s Taki Mrabet in 2:06.65 as
South Africa’s Myles Brown (2:07.19) another gold to settle for the
silver as compatriot Ricky Ellis(2:08.52) won bronze.
Another Kenyan finalist, Sonia Cege settled for the sixth spot by
timing 5:24.62 in the women’s 400m freestyle in an event won by South
