Zimbabwe has 7 Olympic athletes going to Paris, accompanied by 67 officials, including the General, his wife and Kirsty Coventry who are apparently arriving by private jet. Haven't verified this but sounds par for the course.

Rubber stamped by SRC, pretty sure their whole board are part of the officials.

Can confirm. Coventry makes sense, the others don't. They are doing it under the guise of trying to engage with other countries to redevelop economic and diplomatic ties.

We all know make 6 of them will engage in some of that, the rest will be out shopping and spending wildly. Apparently sanctions only apply when they need to do any actual work back home.

Time for some good old test cricket. I wonder how much cricket Williams has played since he retired from the T20 format also considering he is one of the key batsman.
