The president of Athletics Namibia, Frank Fredericks has blasted certain athletics clubs’ poor planning that led to athletes being stranded without accommodation in Swakopmund over the weekend.
More than 400 athletes from 24 clubs throughout Namibia descended on the coastal town for the Rossing Athletics Club Championships, which formed the second leg of the Athletics Namibia Club Series.
Many of the athletes were booked into the Swakopmund bungalows on Friday evening, but on Saturday, after the event, certain athletes from the north were left stranded without accommodation.
