Congo athlete and coaches go missing after the Olympic games


The London Olympics may be over but the after effect will be felt for a longer period of time.

 A Congolese judo competitor and three other members of the central African country's Olympic delegation have gone missing in London since the weekend, local media reported on Monday, adding to a list of seven other African athletes who vanished during the Games.
Democratic Republic of Congo's Cedric Mandembo, who lost his only judo match in 49 seconds to Russian Alexander Mikhaylin in the 100 kg category, disappeared shortly after Sunday's closing ceremony and was not answering his mobile phone.
Congo judo coach Ibula Masengo, boxing trainer Blaise Bekwa, and national technical director of athletics Guy Nkita had also gone missing, according to the report, which said all four had left the Olympic village with their luggage.
At least Nigerians should appreciate the fact that none of our representatives at the Olympics took a long walk after the games. (I haven't even confirmed if they all returned to base)
