Paris Olympics: Ngamba guarantees Refugee Team their first ever medal

In a historic first, Cindy Ngamba has guaranteed herself at least a bronze medal in boxing. She hails from Cameroon, but because of discrimination against LGBT people in the central African nation, she's competing under the banner of the Olympic Refugee Team. It's the third time the delegation has competed at an Olympic Games. Never before has it won a medal. François Picard is joined by The Daily Beast's Craig Copetas and FRANCE 24's James Vasina in the studio, with Jean-Emile Jammine and Selina Sykes live on the ground.
