Paris 2024: Team Nigeria banks on Ofili, Oborududu for first medals

As the Paris Olympic Games enter Day 11, Team Nigeria is eager to secure its first medals.

The country’s hopes rest on Favour Ofili, competing in the women’s 200m final, and Blessing Oborududu, vying for bronze in the 68kg women’s wrestling event.

Ofili made history on Monday by becoming the first Nigerian woman in 28 years to reach the 200m final, matching Mary Onyali’s feat at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
