United States-based Zimbabwean long-jumper and sprinter Ngonidzashe Makusha will be Zimbabwe’s best medal hopefuls when the 13th IAAF World Athletics Championships get underway in Daegu, South Korea on Saturday.

Even the failure by veteran sprinter Brian Dzingai to qualify for the championships had not dampened the country’s hopes of a decent performance in Korea.

Makusha had been in irresistible form this year, convincing most local fans that the country might have produced a world-class track and field star capable of competing against the best on the planet.
