Deputy Coach Bekhizulu Khumalo of the National Athletics Association of Zimbabwe is urging women to take up track and field so it will not become a male-only sport.
Zimbabwean athletes from around the country will meet Sunday in a competition held to select those will participate in international tournaments this year.
The Bulawayo-based Khumalo explained to reporter Marvellous Mhlanga-Nyahuye of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe why fewer women are getting into athletics.
