“It doesn’t matter on what position an athlete finishes on. For example the top six may all qualify or may all fail despite one being the overall winner. What we will be looking for is the best quality,” Jaure said.
He also revealed that everyone is eligible to enter the contest. “As World Fitness Federation Zimbabwe, we embrace all athletes from other federations for the development of the sport.
