Ivory Coast won three bronze medals in Yaoundé from Friday, November 6 to Sunday, November 8, thanks to Zan Bi Gohi Ethan Christ, Yoro Harlow Yves Ethan, and Daouda Dabone, who competed in three successive judo competitions.
Zan Bi Gohi Ethan Christ opened the series on Friday in the Junior Africa Cup. The Ivorian took third place in the under 81 kg category, behind the Cameroonian Joseph Christ Emmanuel Ba Ana and the Congolese Biensa Emmanuel Héritier Nkaya.
The next day, Yoro Harlow Yves Ethan took third place on the podium at the African Cadet Cup in the under 66 kg category. The title went to the Congolese Christ Alounga, ahead of the Cameroonian Ralph Borel Tchouonze Tchouonze.
Daouda Dabone completed the Ivorian tally on Sunday at the African Senior Open. Competing in the under 60 kg category, he won his bronze medal match against the Saudi Abdulrahman Aldossari and shared third place with the Nigerien Moussa Yahaya.
These three results therefore do not come from a single event. They mark the Junior African Cup on November 6, the Cadet African Cup on November 7, and the Senior African Open on November 8, all held in the Cameroonian capital.
The African sequence will continue in Abidjan with the Junior African Cup on November 13, the Cadet African Cup on November 14, and the Senior African Open on November 15.
