Zambia had a bright Sunday on day two of the Zone 6 Youth Games when the Judo team produced a medal haul.
Zambia won five gold medals, three silver and one bronze on the first day of the two-day Judo event taking place at the Olympic Youth Development Centre.
Abigail Chindele won gold in the 48KG so too did Nokutula Banda in the 62KG event and Memory Kanyemba also picked up gold in the 44KG.
And in the boys category, Steven Mun’gandu and Joshua Nyondo also won gold.
Meanwhile swimmer Ralph Goveia won Zambia’s second medal in the pool.
Goveia won a bronze in the 200 meters individual medal.
He joins Tilka Paljk who won bronze in the girls 50 meters breast stroke.
And boxing medal hopes are looking bright after all seven boxers won their opening bouts on Saturday at Mulungushi International Conference Centre.
In session two on day two on Sunday, light welterweight Charles Lumbwe lost his first fight losing 7-6 to South African Richard Da Silva.
They were wins in that midday session for lightweight Lawrence Mukuta and welterweight Ben Sakutamba over Babui Tshephang of Botswana and  South African Robert Khumalo respectively.
Sweet. In time to come those golds will be Olympian if we keep showing multiple sports some love :)
Well done guys! Proud of you.
AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO PHOTOGRAPH THE EVENT?
LT, THIS IS A VERY SMALL PASSAGE IN WHICH TO MAKE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. “They were wins in…”. THIS ‘THEY’ IN YOUR SENTENCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ‘THERE’.
HOW COME ALL YOUR ARTICLES ARE FULL OF GRAMMATICAL ERRORS?
Boxing is not easy sport, I was there last night when Manny Pacquiao was hammered by the Mexican. What more a Zambian.
As long as you think others are better than you, reaching the top will never be your cup of tea…’what more a Zambian?’ You make me sick.
“I make you sick: Ba Dojo because you never had opportunity to watch such high profile sports. Manny knocked-out cold bamwisho. By-the-way, 50 cents was 2 rolls in front of me!! And I think I saw that Zambian boxer “sting” in the crowds.
I DIDN’T buy the ticket. It was a Christmas present from my institute, I don’t know why you are mad about it…. Zambians!?
Ba Nostradamus, there’s nothing wrong with being a Zambian. Just shut up if you have nothing to say. Ati What more a Zambian?? Ati Tyala Bati.
You have totally missed the point…
A Big Big thumbs up to our Zambian Judokas! This goes to show that Zambian Judo is a force to reckon with.Keep it up and we expect more medals today! Rio 2016 olympics- here we come!
thats the kind of exposure needed for the youngs – olympics there we come. beauty of hosting tournament u always work harder in front of your people.
