Tokyo 2020: Following my childhood dreams to represent Morocco at judo

Among the African competitors who could be making headlines at the Olympic Games in Tokyo is Morocco’s Asmaa Niang, who will be competing in judo. This will be her second Games – but her Olympic career was sparked by her childhood dreams of being a superhero. Emeline Nsingi Nkosi reports.
"I'm following my dreams. I'm in the top 18 in the world, and I'm an African mix with a capital A. I'm very proud."
