Glory days gone
Two of Namibia’s brightest sporting stars, Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi (both now 22), have become a shadow of their once glorious selves.
The pair of sprinters and training partners burst onto the athletics scene about six years ago, clocking incredible times and winning accolades, but are now far from where they used to be – and seemingly unable to find their way back. Their recent performances in training and in competitions have marked a decline to what looked destined to be Namibia’s unstoppable golden athletics future.
