- Britain-based Ngamba into women’s 75kg semi-finals
- Ngamba’s refugee status prevented her competing for GB
The Britain-based boxer Cindy Ngamba has guaranteed herself an Olympic medal and what could be the first ever for the IOC’s refugee team after a comprehensive victory over France’s Davina Michel in her 75kg quarter-final.
Ngamba grew up in England, has won national titles and GB’s performance director, Rob McCracken, describes her as “part of the family”. But she has been unable to represent Great Britain at these Games because she has been denied citizenship.
