OLYMPIC :WAENDESHA FARASI WA UINGEREZA WASHINDA MEDALI YA DHAHABU

Zara Phillips has won a silver medal in her debut Olympics after the British eventing team held on to second place in a tense final phase.

Phillips and her colleagues Tina Cook, Nicola Wilson, William Fox-Pitt and Mary King came second to favourites Germany after the show-jumping.
The royal had set nerves rattling by knocking down a pole and racking up three time penalties with her round but King and Cook both jumped clear to secure the silver, leaving New Zealand with bronze.
It is Britain's 18th Olympic post-war eventing medal and means Phillips has gone one better than her mother, who competed in the Montreal Games in 1976 but did not take home a medal.
