THE Zambian duo of Olga Siamupangila and Chongo Mulenga have won a bronze medal in the mixed doubles of the Uganda International Badminton Open Championship which ended yesterday.
After being eliminated from their respective individual events, Siamupangila and Mulenga bounced back strong when they teamed up in the mixed doubles to put up an improved performance and claim a medal.
The Zambian stars were deprived of a final spot after succumbing to a semi-final defeat at the hands of the Nigerian top female seeds, Fatima Azeez and Enejo Abah, losing in two straight sets with scores of 21-19, 21-18.
Siamupangila and Mulenga sailed through to the semi-finals thanks to resounding victories over Elgamel Adham and Mohamed Naja of Egypt in the quarter-finals and Uganda’s Brenda Awor and Alex Babu in the second round.
The Uganda International Badminton Open Championship that commenced last week on Thursday at the MTN Arena, Lugogo concluded yesterday. The prize giving ceremony is set for today.
