MASVINGO – Chivhu-based Taekwondo club Muvsports Academy scooped four bronze medals at the recently held fifth University of Botswana (UB) Taekwondo Open Championship. The invitational tournament, held at the university, attracted over 200 Taekwondo practitioners from Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique.
Muvsports was represented by Tapiwa Norbert Marimo (10), a pupil at Runyararo Primary School and Kourtney Fungai Mugari (9), a pupil at Good Hope Junior School.Tapiwa and Kourtney scooped two bronze medals each in Poomsae and Kyurogi categories in the pre-cadets category. Academy coach and founder Givemore Muvuti confirmed the medals to Masvingo Mirror.
Muvuti said Muvsports only managed to send two Taekwondoin due to lack of sponsorship.
“Our athletes won bronze medals in the two categories they competed in. We would have sent a huge delegation but lack of sponsorship makes it difficult for us to send all potential athletes to such tournaments.
“Muvsports is headquartered in Chivhu and has a branch in Harare. We currently have 75 athletes,” said Muvuti.
