Boxer Cindy Ngamba brings the refugee team its first ever Olympic medal. With her victory in the quarter-finals in the 75 kg weight category, she is guaranteed at least bronze.

Ngamba left her native Cameroon at the age of eleven and has lived as a refugee in England ever since. She is the first athlete to win a medal since the debut of the refugee team in Rio in 2016.
