Submitted by editor on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 07:23.Top Namibian cyclist Dan Cravenâ??s dream of winning a gold medal at next monthâ??s African Cycling Championships will probably not be realised due to a lack of funds.
Craven won a silver medal in the individual time trial at last yearâ??s African Championships in Mauritius when he came second behind Robbie Hunter of South Africa. With Hunter not competing at this yearâ??s event in Cameroon, Craven stands a great chance of winning the gold medal, but the Namibian Cycling Federation does not have funds to send him to Cameroon for the event on November 10 and 11.
