Boxer Cindy Ngamba has become the first athlete from the Refugee Olympic Team to win a medal. The 25-year-old, who trains in the U.K., was born in Cameroon but cannot return there because of her sexuality. Ngamba was awarded a bronze medal after losing on points to Panama's Atheyna Bylon in the 75kg category. Here's more from the BBC.
