Jean-Ian Carré gave Mauritius its first gold medal at the 2023 Games of La Francophonie in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. With a throw of 52.50 m, Jean Carré largely dominated his opponents: Roméo Manzila Mahambou (30.76 m) of Congo and Gédéon Kalonda Nyandwe (28.18 m) of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
While the opening ceremony of the 9th edition of the Games of La Francophonie was held on Sunday in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the serious business for the Mauritian delegation began today. The Mauritian wrestlers will be the first to start the competition.
