Elijah Ngoie will carry the Olympic torch. This is his story:
Elijah is deeply committed to his community. Juggling roles as a champion in the ring and a coach, he stands as a beacon of grit and dogged determination. Alongside his sporting career, Elijah works as a specialised educator in social care, making a significant impact on a diverse audience.
Elijah's journey is all the more remarkable considering that he survived the devastating war in his home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite facing challenges, Elijah tapped into an inner strength that propelled him towards success and fulfilment. His story serves as an inspiration and a show of resilience for those around him.
