Namibia completed their 2026 Commonwealth Games campaign with a total of one silver and two bronze medals which were all won by their boxers.
By yesterday afternoon that put them in 28th place overall out of 74 competing nations and seventh overall amongst the 21 African nations.
That was a slight improvement on the 2022 team that won four bronze medals to come 39th overall out of 72 nations, and compared favourably with Namibia’s previous Commonwealth Games excursions since their debut in 1994.
On that occasion legendary sprinter Frankie Fredericks won one gold and one bronze medal to put Namibia 18th overall out of 63 competing nations, while it came 19th twice – at the 2006 Games in Melbourne and the 2018 Games at the Gold Coast.
