Justin Bayiga and Simon Ayeko left on Saturday, while javelin thrower Annet Kabasindi departs today for the week-long games. Uganda is entering 40 athletes. Emily Nanziri was dropped because the university could only manage four tickets for athletes and a sports tutor, meaning that the women short relay team is dropped. Nanziri is the second lead lady sprinter in the country after Bayiga.
