A Gold Medalist As Well!

a gold medalist as well!

Cindy Ngamba (Britain-based Cameroonian boxer) has guaranteed herself an Olympic medal! and the first ever for the Refugee Olympic Team after winning her quarter-final match against France’s Davina Michel.

“It means the world to me, to be the first ever refugee to win a medal,” Ngamba said. “I’m just a human, just like any other refugee, athlete and refugee all around the world. But I hope I can change the medal on my next fight.

“I was fighting a very tough opponent today. A lot of people were not cheering for me. But I listened to my team, I listened to my coaches and I listened to my own self. I stuck to the tactics and I stayed calm and composed. I’m happy that I got the job done. Hopefully in the next one, I will also get the job done. No, not hopefully. I will get it done.”

Ngamba told reporters. “I want to say to all the refugees around the world ... keep on working hard, keep on believing in yourself.”

For those not familiar with how boxing works, it’s one of the few sports that gives out two bronze medals.
