Congolese athlete Aron Mbo Isomi once again made the DRC shine at the Games of La Francophonie. This Monday, July 31, he won the gold medal in the 97 kg category in freestyle wrestling, beating the French Khounkaev Askerkhan Mokhamad on points (6-2). The victory marks her second gold medal at this competition.
Aron Mbo Isomi thus joins his compatriot Andy Mukendi Kabeya, who had also given the DRC its first gold medal in freestyle wrestling. The two Congolese athletes are a credit to their country and demonstrate their talent and determination on the mat.
The Congolese wrestling team also won other medals during these Games of La Francophonie. Reagan Mabuba Mbo, despite losing to Senegalese wrestler Faye Modou, won the silver medal in the same category as his compatriot Aron Mbo Isomi.
In total, the Congolese team won nine medals, including two gold, four silver and three bronze. These results highlight the growing power of the Congolese struggle and represent a source of pride for the country.
These exceptional performances in the field of wrestling highlight the importance of sport as a vector of enhancement and influence for the DRC. They also encourage young Congolese to get involved in sports and to show perseverance and determination.
The Congolese team continues to shine on the international scene and shows the world that the DRC is a talented sporting nation. Hopefully these victories will inspire many other Congolese athletes and encourage the development of the sport in the country.
Aron Mbo Isomi and the entire Congolese wrestling team deserve our congratulations for their outstanding performance. They are true ambassadors of the DRC and wear the country’s colors high. We wish them much success for the rest of their careers and hope to see them shine in the next international competitions
