## Delegation

[edit]

National Olympic Committee of Zambia selected eight members as an official delegation of nation in the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games. It consisted five competitors, including two pugilists (Obed Mutapa and Charles Lumbwe), two swimmers (Chishala Mukuka and Ralph Goveia) middle distance runner Harry Mulenga and Chongo Mulenga, who participated in badminton. Delegation was also accompanied by the boxing coach Musonda Chinungu and swimming coach Chisela Kanchela.[1][2]

The Commonwealth Games Federation supported the National Olympic Committee of Zambia to send its delegation for the Games as a part of its sports development program.

> So, hopefully we can see the graduation of these juniors to be able to participate at the next Commonwealth Games. As you know the Commonwealth has started a development programme equivalent to the junior Olympics.

—Hazel Kennedy, General Secretary of the National Olympic Committee of Zambia[2]
