Namibian gymnasts who participated in three Olympics qualifying events in Morocco, Rwanda, and Tunisia in the individual women's and men's junior and senior competitions have emerged victorious in some events, but still could not book their tickets for the Paris Olympics.

A group of twelve marathon runners, who also donated running shoes to the Tjipuka Foundation for five athletes from Highline Secondary School, are in Namibia to prepare for the upcoming Paris Olympics. Their coach, Grete Koens, accompanied them.
