Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Ten medals, of which two gold, three silver and six bronze, were won by athletes from the Lea\u0303o do Xangongo academy, municipality of Ombadja, province of Cunene, in the National Fighting Championship.<\/b><\/p>\n

The championship held on the 20th to 21st of this month, in Luanda, involved 120 athletes from the country’s 18 provinces, of which 12 are from Cunene, in the senior, junior and cadet categories, at 46, 58, 65 and 69, kg of weight.<\/p>\n

In a statement this Wednesday, after the athletes arrived at Xangongo, the president of the Ombadja Municipal Fighting Association, Nicolau Makango, said that the medals were won by eight athletes in the three categories.<\/p>\n

He informed that with this participation, Cunene places three athletes in the national pre-selection that will participate in one of the international competitions, in 2024, namely Vena\u0302ncio Manuel, Joa\u0303o Joaquim and Vitorino Francisco, in 48, 63 and 70 kg.<\/p>\n

Nicolau Makango highlighted that they will continue to work on preparing the athletes, so that they are ready, so that when they are part of the pre-selection they can dignify and elevate Angola’s name in the international arena.<\/p>\n

In his first participation in 2022, Cunene competed with four athletes, without however winning any medals.<\/p>\n

The Ombadja Municipal Fighting Association only controls the Lea\u0303o do Xangongo academy, created in 2009, which has 35 athletes, in the senior, junior and cadet categories.<\/p>\n
