Ahmed Hafnaoui: Tunisian teenager stunningly smashing FINA and enablers racist delusions and winning Olympic gold medal!

 
By Stanley Collymore  
 
Absolute congratulations  
and also huge sincerest
best wishes all round,  
to you Ahmed Hafnaoui on what  
are essentially so self-evidently  
your outstandingly very adept  
swimming skills; deliberately  
and undeniably too crucially  
and fittingly as well, the full  
and distinctively fulsomely  
devoted to, committed and  
inspirationally engaged in  
this vibrant commitment,  
which then strongly allied  
with your acute personal  
endeavours, and distinct  
commendably also very  
strong unrelenting faith  
spurred you to success!  
 
And all this in the wake  
of entrenched bigotry  
on the part of others;  
in your now generally globally  
acknowledged ability. So from  
me well done! And one in the  
eye for FINA, and its racially  
enabling ilk that usually do
crucially believe swimming  
is an unquestionably plus
exclusively proven, solely  
indefinitely preserve for  
basically, only the white  
man and white  woman  
and as such should be  
devoid of participants  
that transparently are  
not white Caucasians.

Author's Remarks:  
My heartiest congratulations to Ahmed Hafnaoui; and well done to Tunisia: a country where my partner and I have spent many memorable, combined Christmas and New Year holidays, for producing such a truly outstanding swimmer. Allah's eternal blessing and peace be with you all as a nation!  
 
And to our own British Black female swimmer Alice Dearing and other Black swimmers too, all the very best to each of you. And prove in the process that racism doesn't rule the waves; not even in the swimming pool!
