"Before I retired," Coach Toriola shared,"I was thinking that I don't want to do what all the ex-players do. After they retire, they move away from the game and that is why the game is not improving." This dedication to the sport translates into a clear vision for his coaching role."This is what I want when I retire from playing and I want to give something back to table tennis. The most important thing to me is the development of the game, it's going to start from the youth; train them, don't discourage them so that they can be champions of Africa and the world."
Twenty-eight men and 25 women set out to conquer the field at the BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda. As the action rolled on, many fell by the wayside, overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the eight players going into the final-day matchups. The second semifinal tie will be a battle between defending champion Hana Goda of Egypt and her compatriot, Mariam Alhodaby.
