Mboma appointed as goodwill ambassador for Sam Nujoma Foundation

Tokyo Olympic Games silver medallist, Christine Mboma was on Tuesday appointed as the Sam Nujoma Goodwill Ambassador, following her rapid ascent to the women’s 200-metre final race. En route to the Olympic final, Mboma, 18, smashed some long-standing records. She set an unratified African senior and world under-20 record in the 400 metres in Bydgoszcz, Poland in June after running 48.54 seconds to break the 49.10 seconds set by Falilat Ogunkoya-Osheku in 1996, which made her the seventh fastest woman of all time at the event with the 12th fastest result ever.
