TOKYO, Japan, Jul 25 – Christine Ongare’s bid to become the first ever Kenyan woman to clinch an Olympic medal ended early Sunday morning after losing by a unanimous decision to Philippine’s Irish Magno.
The Pilipino carded a 10 out of 10 from all five judges in the three-round sprint bout with the Kenyan Ghetto girl carding a nine from all the judges.
Ongare could not respond to most of the jabs from Magno, but equally gave a good account of herself on her first ever appearance at the Olympic Games.
