Dunia Rodriguez Sibomana Doubles Up with Senior African Championship Title at 57kg

Chapel Hill, NC — Dunia Rodriguez Sibomana continued his remarkable run on the international stage, capturing a second gold medal in as many days with a championship performance at the Senior African Championships in the 57kg division on Sunday.

Fresh off his UWW U20 African Championship title, Sibomana returned to the mat against the continent’s top senior-level competition and once again proved dominant. Showing no signs of fatigue, he controlled matches with the same high-paced offense and technical precision that defined his U20 run, solidifying his status as one of Africa’s premier wrestlers at 57kg—regardless of age level.

Doubling up with both U20 and Senior African titles in the same weekend is a rare and impressive feat, highlighting Sibomana’s readiness to compete at the highest levels of international wrestling. With back-to-back gold medals, Sibomana now turns his focus to the global stage, where he will represent the Democratic Republic of Congo at the U20, U23, and Senior World Championships later this summer and fall.
