Jesse Jackson Kauraisa
Namibian cyclist Tristan de Lange has been given a wild card to the Tokyo Olympics following the withdrawal of Dan Craven from the competition.
The Namibian Cycling Federation (NCF), in collaboration with the Namibian National Olympic Committee (NNOC), announced that Craven withdrew due to a positive Covid-19 test.
De Lange is now expected to represent the country in the 233km road race around Mount Fuji, provided that the world cycling body approves the replacement.
“The team manager will be Mannie Heymans, replacing NCF president Axel Theissen.
“We wish all Namibian Olympians the best of success at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. We wish to thank the NNOC, the NCF, Rock and Rut MTB Club and Windhoek Pedal Power for their support of our Olympic athletes,” the cycling federation said in a statement.
