The winner, Cameroon, was closely followed by Chad with one gold medal, 17 silver medals and two bronze medals. Central African Republic came third with one gold medal, two silver medals and 17 bronze medals. Cameroon’s good performance, sports analysts say, is thanks to preparations made during some national international trainings organised before the competition.

The President of the Cameroon Nanbudo Federation, Master François Mbassi, said he was satisfied with his team’s performance and underlined that the competition took place on transparent bases; giving equally opportunities to all the athletes.
