Introduction :
The last Francophonie Games were a real success for Congolese athletes and artists, who won a total of 34 medals, including 5 gold.

In this article, we will return to the performance of Congolese athletes and the challenges they faced.
A historic record for the Congo:
Wrestling was the flagship sport of the Congolese team, with 9 medals won, including 2 gold. The wrestlers were the only ones to win gold at these Games of La Francophonie, thus demonstrating their dominance in this discipline. This exceptional performance allowed Congo to stand out among the other participating countries and draw attention to their talent and determination.
A problematic preparation:
Yet Congolese athletes have faced many obstacles in their preparation. Sports infrastructure was often dilapidated and ill-suited to high-level training. In addition, the lack of stage material and appropriate equipment made it difficult for Congolese artists to prepare. Despite these constraints, they managed to surpass themselves and give the best of themselves during competitions.
Congolese pride:
Despite the difficulties, the Congolese athletes and artists were able to show great pride. They represented their country with determination and showed the world the talents of Congo. This historic performance is a real turning point for Congolese sport, which now hopes to attract more attention and investment to develop its sports infrastructure and support its athletes.
Conclusion :
The Games of La Francophonie were a real showcase for Congolese athletes and artists, who were able to shine despite the difficulties encountered during their preparation. Congo’s historical record is a source of pride for the whole country and shows the potential of Congolese athletes and artists. Let’s hope this victory inspires the authorities to invest more in sport and culture in Congo, in order to allow Congolese talents to flourish and shine on the international stage
