It was an historic day for Zambia, which won its third ever Olympic medal when Muzala Samukonga won bronze. The other two Zambian Olympic medalists all-time came from Samuel Matete (silver in the men’s 400 metre hurdles at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta) and Keith Mwila (bronze in the men’s light flyweight boxing at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles).
