The 6th All-Africa Games were played from 13 to 23 September 1995 in Harare, Zimbabwe. 46 countries participated in eighteen sports. South Africa, having previously been banned from competition by the other African nations, was invited to the games for the first time after the fall of Apartheid.〔Royal African Society (1970). ''African affairs, Volumes 69–70.'' Oxford University Press. p. 178.〕 With a record 6000 athletes participating in the games the games were in danger of growing unmanageable. Juan Antonio Samaranch, asked the organizers not to try to copy the Olympic Games, because of the financial and organizational costs. Petty controversy again entered the games. An Egyptian woman handball player was accused of being a man〔http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/african-games-1602217.html〕 and the Egyptian team protested that the lace sleeves worn by the South African gymnasts were too "sexy". Mozambiques World Champion 800 meter runner Maria de Lurdes Mutola won her speciality in Harare. Of the 17 sports on the program 8 were open to participation by women: athletics, basketball, gymnastics, handball, swimming, table tennis, tennis and volleyball. Women's diving and netball were to be included but were reduced to demonstration sports due to a lack of entries. At the closing ceremonies the torch was passed to Johannesburg, South Africa to begin preparations for the VIIth All-African Games in 1999. == Medal table == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1995 All-Africa Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
