Misenga says they are now refugees twice over. Both lost contact with their families years ago.
"There were kids who were 5 and 6 who were actually fighting," he says. "I was trying to run away from that. I lost my mom in the conflict. I just wanted to escape. A lot of friends were killed in the street where I was living."
Mabika says she learned judo at a UNICEF refugee center that she grew up in from the age of 10, after she was separated from her family. She joined Congo's national team in her teens.
She says conditions were awful.
"If you didn't medal," she says, "they would starve us. It was a tough life, very tough."
That is why they both decided to stay in Brazil and seek asylum after their coach vanished during the 2013 World Championships.
