For US-based sprinter Carvin Nkanata, it was a case of resilience, passion and the spirit of never giving up that saw him compete at the Rio Olympics Games and earn the title an 'Olympian'.
Nkanata arrived at the Olympics venue a week before the athletics programme started, only to be kicked out because of what the authorities said lack of credentials to represent the country in the 200m. Yet, the said credentials were sent to Carolina USA, where he lives.
