After the match, which took under two minutes, Bukasa said she was joyful simply making it to the Rio Games. Misenga hasn't seen his family in 15 years after being separated from them at age 9 during the war in Congo. "They talk about doing this for the 10 million refugee kids out there and about the healing power of sport." "It's not a blood family, but the people cheering for me here in Rio are like a new family," she said. "I'm very happy even having lost, because I had the chance to fight at the Olympics," she said.
