In a historic achievement, Patrick Chinyemba, the Zambian flyweight boxer, has secured his spot as the first Zambian athlete to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This remarkable feat was accomplished following his victorious performance by knocking out Ala Zidi of Tunisia in the third round of the ongoing Olympic Qualifiers in Senegal. Chinyemba's Olympic qualification is not his first; he had previously earned a spot in the 2020 Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan. His recent win not only solidifies his status as a formidable athlete but also marks a triumphant return of Zambia's top boxer, who reclaims his African flyweight champion title with this exceptional achievement. As Chinyemba heads to Paris 2024, he carries with him the hopes and pride of Zambia, representing the nation on the grand Olympic stage once again.
