Zambia boxer Patrick Chinyemba has been eliminated from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after recording a defeat in the quarterfinals of the Men’s 51 kg bout against David de Pina of Cape Verde via unanimous point decision.
Chinyemba was making his first appearance in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games in a bout that proved to be huge for both boxers, with de Pina emerging victorious.
His quarterfinal appearance marks a significant improvement from his last-16 finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, Chinyemba’s journey to the quarterfinals is a tremendous achievement. His dedication and skill have brought pride to Zambia, and this experience will undoubtedly fuel his growth as an athlete.
We commend Patrick for his valiant effort and look forward to his future successes.
