President of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Daniel Igali, has praised the female wrestlers who won gold medals in all their events at the African Games and also defended the male athletes who were all making their debuts at the competition, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
While the female wrestlers put on a dominant display winning six gold medals at the six events, the male wrestlers were not as successful in their first African Games outing.
On Sunday, Blessing Oborodudu, Odunayo Adekuoroye, Mercy Genesis, Christiana Ogunsanya, Hannah Reuben and Esther Kolawole all won gold medals and on Monday, their male counterparts added three silver and two bronze medals to the tally for Nigeria’s wrestling team at the Games.
Among the females, there was also a debutant in Ogunsanya, but she showed determination in claiming the top prize.
