Experienced Namibian bowlers eye podium finish

Bowling national team head coach Axel Krahenbuhl says his charges have the international experience to take on the very best at the upcoming Commonwealth Games slated from 23 July to 2 August in Glasgow, Scotland.

Speaking to The Namibian Sport, Krahenbuhl says every player selected has competed on the international stage and has previously played against many of the world’s top bowlers.

“That experience gives the team confidence and a clear understanding of what is required to compete at the highest level.

“The team manager and I also bring extensive international experience, having travelled to numerous World Bowls Championships, Commonwealth Games and other major international competitions over the years.”

He adds that the experience enabled them to prepare the players for the demands of elite competition and provided the tactical and technical support required throughout the games.

“Our greatest strengths are our resilience, adaptability and team unity. The players have worked exceptionally hard throughout the preparation period and have developed a strong understanding of one another’s games,” Krahenbuhl says.
