After acquiring the 400 meter Olympic gold medal in Munich in September 1972, the second All African game was the next tournament of John Aky Bua. The African game was held from 7th to 18th January 1973 in Lagos, capital of Nigeria. Africa's great Bill Coskei (Kenya) has advanced to the finals of a male 400-meter hurdle. Also, in the last lineup, Akii was the enemy of Koskei. It was expected that Uganda's John Aky Bua would win.
Akii-Bua won easily, but the amazing thing is that Akii-Bua will be a very fast time of 48.54 seconds - at that time, during the fastest time I ran with a hurdle the race, And the second best time of that year and the best time in African land. Koskei finished the photograph ahead of Akii-Bua in about 2 seconds (50.22s) and before Uganda's copper medalist Silver Ayoo (50.25s) and grabbed silver. As Akii-Bua approached the last turn of the race, despite the fact that he was comfortably standing in front of the pack, a conspicuously militarily decorated president of the president of Nigeria, Yakub Dan · Yanma Gowon and cheering pushed him to speed up.
Interestingly, Mr. Mohammed Brigadier Muhammad (Mohammed Brigadier Mutammed) lost General Gowon when attending the African Unification Organization (OAU) Summit held in Kampala on July 25, 1975. Corruption, financial relaxation, management failure, postponement of the national election were in line with Gowon 's rule.
In 1973, Akii maintained the position of the world's top intermediate hurdler. His lead time was 48.49 seconds. It was discovered in 1973 that Akii will be a major competitor in America at American Jim Bowling (48.8 years old), an excellent American national star and student at Oklahoma State University (1969-1972) did. Ralf Man's best time (49.3 seconds) in 1973 ranked third in the world. William Kokkei (William Koskei) got 7th in 49.34 seconds, and ranked 7th in comparison with the previous year when Koskei became 6th.
In the competition of Akii-Bolding, Akii beat the Bolding at the truck meeting held in the third week of June, 1973, Bowling beat Akii at the end of June 1973, and in international I finished the photograph at a convincing mediocre time of 50 seconds at the meeting. Akii lost to Bolding (49.0 seconds) at the end of July 1975. And Akii defeated Bolding in mid August 1975.
In early July 1975, Jim Bowling first ranked in the world (48.55 seconds, during a track meeting in Paris). In the same year, Alain Pasco of the UK achieved 48.59 seconds and ranked second. The best time of Akii this year is 48.67 seconds, it is third in the world.
Interestingly, Akii was not ranked in the world's top ten in 1974, probably due to inadequate training, participation and perhaps injury. The common wealth game held at Christchurch in New Zealand this year is the best opportunity for Akii & Commonwealth Games' gold medal. However, at the first week 's track meeting in July 1974, Jim Bowling established the American record of 48.10 seconds and chased Akii to third place. Jim Bolding became the number one in the world, as he will be the next year. In retrospect, at the British Commonwealth Games, it ended fourth in the finals behind John Sherwood (UK), William Koskei (Uganda), Charles Kipkenboy Eago (Kenya). It was held in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1970.
In the international track held in Helsinki, Finland in late June 1975, Jim Bowling was strongly taught during the first 300 meters and was easily beaten by Akii-Bua. However, the winner in these "World Competitions" held in Helsinki was Alain Pasco in the UK.
At a track meeting held in Stuttgart, Germany in the second half of 1975, Akii had an impressive time of 48.72 seconds, Jim Bolding got second in about 2 seconds after 49.60 seconds.
Akii-Bua in early June 1976 was a major highlight star when I won both 400 square feet and 400 mh at the German international conference in Düsseldorf. Competition was predominantly German nationality, but importantly the game of Olympics 1976 & # 39; modifier. Akii-Bua's 400 mh won in 48.58 seconds and was his best player of the year. Even betraying the records of Edwin Moses (USA), Quentin Wheeler, Tom Andrews (America, 48.55 years), Jim Bowling (USA, 48.57 years), the more frequent sub 49 seconds run is an intermediate hurdle Spelled more competition in!
Akee Boua's victory at the 400 meter flat finals in Düsseldorf was the best time of 45.82 seconds. Aki put the German Franz Peter Hoffmeister (46.39s) of the Olympic relay relay bronze medalist to second place, European record holder and Carl Honz (West Germany) of the Olympic finalist posted third place. Montreal a few months ago in 1976, this was Akii 's most important pre - Olympic testimony, he was very much like a competition for another Olympic medal. Akii was trained in the City of Dortmund for the preparation of the Olympic Games.
In the third week of June 1976, Akii-Bua hurt the muscles of the thigh (left hamstring) that could possibly acquire medals at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. In addition, unfortunately, Jim Bowling and Ralph Man wish for a medal that wishes to have failed to secure one of the three berths of the US team for the Olympic Games. They were eaten 4th and 6th respectively. Worse for Akii - Bua, Uganda boycotted the Olympic Games in Montreal. In the Olympic qualifying in the United States, a 21-year-old Quentin David Wheeler (San Diego State University), a 21-year-old student in physics engineering renamed to 20-year-old Edwin Moses (48.30 seconds), Morehouse's College in Atlanta (Georgia) Mike · Shine of Pennsylvania State University.
At the Olympic Games, Mike Shine will surprisingly become a silver medal and will do rain of the lane. Put the same disadvantageous lane as Aki Boua challenged at the last Olympics! His personal best time at 48.69 became 6th place in the world in 1976. It was the first time that Mike Shine shined on this top 10 list for the first time. Quentin Wheeler finished 4th behind the Soviet player Yevgeny Gavrilenko who was the finalist at the last Olympic Games. Edwin Moses who won the fourth lane gradually lost its competitiveness with a 110 meter hurdle and a 400 meter flying in the first six months of 1976. He is 47.63 s on July 25, 1976! The Olympic Games, Moses & # 39; First International Conference! The world record of Akii-Bua has disappeared!
Edwin Moses is the biggest hurdle of all time. His honor remained unbeaten for about ten years, apart from his numerous sports awards and designs, remaining undefeated at the middle hurdles, making his world record four times (maximum time is 47.03 seconds in 1983), continuous 122 Race Final), won two Olympic gold medals, has been active in international competition for more than 15 years and in the middle of thirties! Unfortunately, Moses never competed with Akii-Bua. The conflict between the two at the Olympic Games in 1976 was awaited, but never happened!
Akii-Bua was a competitive country in 1977. Government sponsorship devotion dedicatedly devoted to weapons and ammunition of Uganda's military weapon, Idi Amin, was fighting overseas potential marines. Rumors concerning the state of Akii-Bua were prevalent. In the article by Nairobi on March 3, 1977, "Age '# 39' Akii-Bua Prison Claim 'Mrs. Joyce Aki Boua denied that her husband was arrested in Kenara at once , Criticized Kenii's "everyday state", and told reporters that Akii was locked in Makindye's maximum security prison. Completely remove the garbage. I do not know where they came from. My husband is alright, there is nothing to worry about. "
During these unstable years in Uganda, the world saw only the glimpse of Akii. Kenyan Daniel · Kimayoyo (49.48 seconds), Akii (49.55 seconds), Uganda Peter Rwamuhanda (50.18) s) in Kenya July 13 - 28 in Algeria's Algiers held I won a bronze medal. Past Africa Games Lagos In the same event in 1973, all three medallists participated from Kenya in East Asia and Uganda (winning gold including Akii)! These people, best suited for Kimaiyo and Akii-Bua, are ranked 7th and 10th in the world, respectively. The top ten of them should have been the first and last of Kimbai and the last of Akii-Bua. At the British Empire's Commonwealth Games held at Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) from August 3 to 12, 1978, Daniel Kimayo won 400 mph (49.48 s), as well as Vikkoskay, Washington Niziri , Joel Ngetich won a relay fee of 4 meters by 400 meters. Kimaiyo, in particular, won the 400 mh East and Central African Championship title in 1972. The venue was Mombasa in Kenya. These championships were not held in 1978.
In 1979, armed liberation forces, including heavy armed forces of the Tanzanian Armed Forces, marched to Uganda alongside Uganda 's anti - government armed groups and beat the amine after eight years of reign. Several people died during "liberation warfare" which is the process of expulsion of Amin by Tanzanian troops and Ugandan exiles. In the 1970's Akii-Bua was rumored to be in danger. It was mainly because it was the same Rango ethnic group as Milton Obote who was withdrawn in the 1971 coup. 39; Army supporters. Many of the exiles of Uganda (people living in Tanzania) were Rangi (Langi) as well as those who were approved in Uganda. However, for many years, there is no doubt that I can fully appreciate the universal excellence in Uygunda, but Mr. Adi was impressed with the impression that Iidi Amine himself presented (National Police Promotion And Kampala's highway) staying in Uganda with his direct and expanded family did not show rare fear for his safety.
If Akee's athletic career was adversely affected by the regulation of the amine, the negative allocation of resources to sports and the allocation of funds to international tournaments decreased, so the negative influence of many other Ugandan athletes practitioners I did not receive. Given the international status of Akii, Amin, if he harmed Akii, would have lost much in front of the world. He came back to the court. Still, Akii-Bua was occasionally hindered from leaving Uganda. Because the reign of Amin gradually became infamous to the situation of the world.
Between 1970 and 1978, Akii-Bua is not listed in the top 10 in the world but it is only in 1974 and 1977 that it is not listed in the 400 mh runner. Maintaining longevity by athletes is a remarkable achievement even in a tough race like 400 mh. We remain a top working vaccine that maintains health, physical fitness and figure shape. Maintain discipline. Minimize injuries. Akii had the opportunity to be internationally trained and active, including when he was trained in Germany before the 1976 and 1980 Olympic Games.
This is "Eugene Register Guard" titled "Akii-Bua Safe" entitled "Sports People: Wire Service Report" May 28, 1979:
"[Akii-Bua] ... I have not heard for almost a year. It was detained last month in Kenya's Nairobi and found that he was arrested with 500 Ugandan refugees and 500 political prisoners. Idi Amin 's deposit age. Ambiguous and sometimes inconsistent .... The family is planning to fly from Kenya with the help of the German sports shoes company West German Embassy and PUMA. ... Director of Puma ... that her husband became free ... and then back to Uganda to check other members of the family. "
Definitely, Akii always brought up his family first. Effort and glory! As the amine's power collapsed, she ran away from Uganda for Kenya. He sent a pregnant wife and three children (8-year-old Tony, 5-year-old Tonia, 21-year old Dennis) to a town close to the border of Uganda and Kenya. Akii, who was driving his Peugeot at top speed, overflowed his nephew in Kampala and was easily chased by a police officer. Fortunately, they did not shoot. Trial Joyce gave birth to a premature baby who died one day later. My parents did not have the money to bury children. Hundreds of Ugandan refugees gathered in Kenya in Kenya and fled in a camp. Easily returned to Kampala after Akii was released after one month. Many departed families like him were attacked violently! From here, I get close to Nuremberg, prepare for the upcoming Olympic Games, and for 3 to 4 years I became Puma's promoter. Many of them are Fred Hauptfuurler's "Olympic champion John Aky · Boi · Won · No · Maiden, a new life, only new life, a race to escape the Uganda of the Americans" (December 1979 10 It is published in the "People" magazine of Sunday).
Lawrence Journal World & # 39; "Schenectady · Gazette & June 21, 1979" Akii-Bua Mulling Olympics & Offer "in" German Akii Bua Training Eye "on June 20, 1979 Akii-Bua reported that he recently participated in a wife and three children in Herzogenaurach of West Germany on the outskirts of Nuremberg and was considering offer to train for the upcoming Moscow Olympic Games.Fall for the Olympic Games In order to train in Uganda, Amin's soldiers flee Uganda in the face of the violent confusion surrounding the amine's expulsion, as well as the necessity of falling into a steady situation.In addition, amine soldiers have lots of Akii ethnic groups (Langi) A persistent persecution, a considerable part of exiles and liberals was Rangi (Langi) Akii-Bua is a challenge of the Amin era and many opportunities for Akii to evade Uganda and deny Amin regime Despite refusing to escape from Uganda and refusing to hit as a national star, Akii includes many Langi members of his family) as a solid supporter and as a commander of the Amin administration Here, paradoxically, during the subversion of Amin, Akii 's life may have been furious over the years as his "running for Amin"!
James Ocen - Bua, a blood brother of Akii - Bua who belonged to the Uganda army, was murdered by the hands of the Idi Amin army (Denis H. Obua: "John Alii - Bua of Observer is Forgotten Sports Hero" " March 28, 2010)
The 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow began with the opening ceremony led by the Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev on July 20, 1980. Akii-Bua was trained in Germany several months before the Olympic Games. From his older 30-year-old (he was one of the 400 mh riders in his thirties), he is still at least until the finals Germany, the United States, Kenya and many other countries, including the Soviet Army Afghanistan By competing against the station and boycotting the game, competition and game effectiveness declined. However, without the world's top hurdles like 1980's top middle hurdle runners Edwin Moses and Harald Schmidt (West Germany), they will be worthy of praise in this game.
Just a few days before joining Moscow just after competing in a competition held in Stockholm, Sweden, Akii confidently told reporters that "I know that I will be in the final game, you know extra pounds Seriously .. I am in a real good shape .... The question is only technology ... [and] Competitive atmosphere .. [and] (Tuscaloosa News - July 20, 1980: I hope that "Please pay attention to this era").
Akii was planning to run on the 1st heat (3 heat) in the 1st round at the Leningo stadium on July 24th. He entered Lane 4, a relatively favorite lane. The top four finishers of each heat and the next best time four will advance into the semi-finals. Akii's performance was not encouraged. He will be fifth overall in 50.87 seconds and it is expected to drop out. In the heat - to - two hurdles did not end. Based on the timing, Heat Three judged that Akai will be one of four additional runners to advance to the semi-finals to be held the following day on July 25. Each of the top three finishers of the semi-finishing heater will advance to the final game in addition to the next best time two.
Akii was placed on a hot 2 in the outermost, generally disadvantaged lane 8. Akii-Bua ended in 51.10 seconds - it is considerably slower than that of preheating. The only semi-finals who advanced in their 30s, Akii finished in seventh place. In the final held on 26th July, Volker Beck (Lane 8) won the gold medal in 48.70 seconds, followed by Vassilie Ali Penko (Soviet Union) of racing 2 48.86 seconds, followed by Gary Oaques of Rally 1 (UK) is 49.11 seconds. All three medalists were ranked in the world's top ten 400 m hurdles in 1980.
The next job of Akii was a 4 x 400 meter relay. Uganda's string also included Silver Ayu, Charles Dramiga, Pius Olouu. Only one out of three heats will decide the choice for the final. The top two finishers in each round and the next best-time relay team will advance into the final. Uganda's performance was not normal. On July 31, Uganda did not go to the final in 5th place, 3 minutes and 7 seconds in Heat 2. This spells the end of prominent competition in the Akii-Bua athletics. As a student at the University of New Mexico, Charles Dora Migua was chosen as one of the best quarter bikers at American universities. Dramiga is a former American college record holder of 600 meters. As a chiropractor, Dr. Charles Ole Dramiga was in the Dallas (Texas) region several years ago. The Soviet Union acquired a bronze medal of 4 x 400 meters relays (3: 01.1), East Germany (3: 01.3), Italy (3: 04.3).
In Moscow, welterweight boxer John Mughavi only won Uganda, the only medal for silver. As a professional, Mugabi would nicknamed "Beast" because of his brutality, strength, knockout speed. He will become the WBC World Junior Middleweight Champion on July 7, 1989 after knocking out the Frenchman Rene Jacquot.
Akii-Bua was going to be Uganda's onshore coach. He was hospitalized in Mirago hospital in Kampala who underwent laparoscopic surgery in late June 1997 and died of a possible abdominal pain with abdominal pain. Akii was a widow when he died. His eleven children survived. For children of John Akii-Bua Denise Akii-Bua [Harris] (Journalist, broadcaster, political activist), Maureen · Aki · Bua (model), Janet · Aki · Bua (advanced)
At the time of his death, Akii-Bua was a temporary director, a provisional attorney general, and was a welfare and regional affairs police officer. The state funeral of Abaco County in northern Uganda where he grew up honored Glory's John Aky Bua. Among the structures admiring Akii are Akii-Bua Memorial Stadium and Lira's Akii-Bua Memorial Secondary School. On August 10, 2008, a 90 - minute documentary created with the help of Akii 's note provided to the coach Malcolm Arnold in the UK was released by Dan Gordon under the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). In the work of "John · Aky · Bear · Story: Africa's Tragedy" there are appearances with Ugandan as the center, and have gained excellent evaluation.
