\u201cit’s a proud moment for us securing our country\u2019s first-ever gold in Badminton,” Uganda’s coach William Kabindi said in an interview with the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is a testament to the hard work of our athletes. It is collective effort that has brought these results,” Kabindi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
