As the Rio 2016 Olympics nears its end, the African continent is shining bright with gold medals thanks to our hardworking sportsmen and sportswomen. Despite having limited resources to train, African athletes have gone forth to make their marks on the our continent and abroad.

Their outstanding displays at the ongoing Olympic Games have earned the continent respect and made every African proud. Here are the African athletes who have won gold medals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
