With only 167 days left to the Paris Olympic Games, athletes are pushing hard to make the cut and be part of the action down in France.

The popular, and multicultural festival event will take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 and countries celebrate each slot they secure.

Uganda Athletics Federation via their official X platform announced the big news and congratulated the University of Alabama student for the golden milestone.

The Ugandan sprinter and national record holder in both 100m and 200m has a chance to run alongside the best on the biggest stage in the world.

The boy with a dream who played rugby before shifting to sprinting dreamt of being a part of the Paris Games in an interview with Olympics.com back in 2023.

“I picture myself in Paris so much,” he confirmed. “Not just being there, [but] winning. Anything can happen. I’m not writing myself off because the guys that have won it were once at my level.”
