Lipimile Moola [national]

"I started judo very young." (ijf.org, 05 Mar 2021)

"With my father being a police officer, judo was already part of his life and quickly it became part of mine. I immediately loved the sport and preferred to go to train than to do anything else." (ijf.org, 05 Mar 2021)

In 2019 he began training at the Regional Centre of Youth and Sports in Yerville, France, under the Olympic Solidarity programme. (nocz.org, 23 Jun 2021; zambianbusinesstimes.com, 18 May 2019)

LONE TRAVELLER
He often travels to competitions without a coach to accompany him. "It is certain I am alone. I travel alone, I do not have a coach, but I have a lot of friends who are there to help and support me. On the morning of the competition, I always find someone who is willing to warm up with me. I will not lie to you though, not having a coach at the edge of the tatami is not easy. I also have friends in the International Judo Federation [IJF] staff who do everything to make sure everything goes well for me and for everyone in my situation. Being alone should not prevent us from moving forward. I also have my national federation in Zambia, which is there for me, I know that." (ijf.org, 05 Mar 2021, 26 Jul 2019)
