Finland-born Gambian judoka Faye Njie on Saturday, June 17, won gold medal at Abidjan African Judo Open 2023.
Njie defeated Bissau Guinean Cesar Diogo in a long fight that lasted until the golden score, but Faye eventually won with a beautiful ippon.
The results sets Njie in good standing for qualification to the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, an event he has already qualified for.
