Over the weekend, Henry Flomo became the first journalist and a member of the Sports Writers Association to be elected as a member of the Executive Committee (EC) of the Liberia Football Association (LFA). While swimming, Flomo, dubbed “HF,” was also playing football and told the Daily Observer that he was a forward-right striker. “Living with my mother in Jallah Town, we were beaten to stop playing football, because they thought when playing football, we would not focus on our education,” he said. According to Mr. Flomo, after leaving boxing as an athlete, he continued to serve as a referee or a judge and a coach in the boxing federation. “I remained critical on the promotion and development of sports and in 2006 l left the ELBC,” Mr. Flomo said.
