He added on his social media channels, “I am delighted to be an ambassador for hard-working townspeople and I look forward to fulfilling my #HandballCityUSA dream of America.”

Size and weight create confusion

In Egypt, Mvumbe’s physical presence alone left a lasting impression – and caused confusion.

On the official website of the International Handball Federation (IHF) he got 1.92 meters and 110 kilograms. According to the tournament website, it was (unreal) 1.76 meters and 89 kilograms, while the Spanish media recorded 2 meters and 130 kilograms.

In any case, Mvumbi knew how to convince in terms of sport. He scored 20 goals in five matches. Only need 23 throw attempts – 87% throw effectiveness!

In the match against Bahrain and Tunisia, he was also named the match’s best player.
