All-rounder Kabange Mupopo has sailed into the semifinals of the women’s 400 meters at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Mupopo, who is also Shepolopolo captain, is into Monday evenings semifinal heat one after finishing second in Sunday’s preliminary round heat 1.
Meanwhile, there was no joy for Rhodah Njobvu who bowed out of the women’s 400 meters heats including Yvonne Nalishuwa who also exited in the women’s 100 meters heats while Titus Mukhala also bowed out of the 100 mens meters heats.
And Zambia also suffered a setback in the ring on Sunday night when boxer Charles Lumbwe lost 3-0 to Junia Jonas in the last 16 of the light welterweight contest.
Zambia now has two boxers left with Middleweight Ben Muziyo in acton on Monday night against Brody Blair of Canada in the last 16.
Light Flyweight Bwalya Lumbwe enters the ring for the first time on Monday against Ugandan Fazil Kaggwa.
great Mupopo. Show them the Zambian style. you make us proud girl.
I am 12 miles from Ibrox and I am supporting the zambian athletes
Zambians look small, undernourished and unprepared. The one that swam
tried but embarrassed herself in the end being the last, cant remember the name
You have my support and Nick and Nick”s family.
Thanks
I saw the race it was great!Had one of those rare proudly Zambian moments.Keep it gal!
Where are pictures tumoneko amolu chipwilemo…
So sad that the guys are being beaten the hell out of them, as if their minister is not Kambwili?
I watched the race and was impressed by this girl’s abilities. The fact that she only got into athlectics (early this year?) from her footballing talents (she is the Zambia women’s team captain) shows that she is a raw gem that needs proper moulding into the champion she can become. The commentators had so much praise for her and indicated she could have won that race (she led for most of it), but for her inexperience which saw her rushing out of the blocks too fast hence running out of steam towards the end. These kind of mistakes can be sorted out with proper training. My suggestion is that she is assigned to some proper coach outside Zambia to enable her achieve her potential. If she has to choose between football and athletics, I suggest she goes for the latter.
Kabange Mupopo amoneka shani?
Another Zambian athlete Kombe advanced in the mens 400 meters this morning. We need proper coverage of such events ba LT not the usual politics and useless articles from the likes of Ruwe
The gov’t should fund sports, it’s national pride inducing! Our running girl sounds like the real deal! help her to be at her best.
