Zimbabwe team sports out of 2008 Olympic Games

在北京奥运会女子曲棍球非洲地区资格赛上，津巴布韦接连负于奈洛比和肯尼亚，痛失参加此项比赛的奥运会入场券，也因此津巴布韦将不会在明年的北京奥运会上参加任何团体项目的比赛。

The women's Olympic Games qualifying tournament was held simultaneously with the men's competition in Nairobi.

Zimbabwe was not represented in the men's qualifiers after the Hockey Association of Zimbabwe failed to raise enough money to send a team.

The Zimbabwe women's team was only able to travel to Nairobi after they received some financial assistance from the Olympic Solidarity through the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee.

The failure by the team to make the grade at the Nairobi tournament will leave Zimbabwe without a representative side in any of the team sports during next year's Olympic Games in Beijing.
