Updated Medals Table

While Nigeria seek her first gold and are hoping that wrestling will deliver it, reports coming from the Nigerian camp are indicating that the Sports Minister, Senator John Enoh met with the athletes at the Games Village today, and that meeting could ignite team Nigeria’s passion to win their first gold when they resume play tomorrow.

Furthermore, there are also strong indications that aside wrestling, disciplines such as weightlifting, badminton, scrabble, female football among others could help lift team Nigeria to winning gold, while male football where the team started poorly after losing to Uganda in their opener does not seem to be a source of hope for medal in the continental showpiece.

As at the time of this report, African champion, Esther Kolawole has joined Blessing Oborodudu to secure final slots.

Four finals for team Nigeria and still counting.
Also, Adekuoroye has become the latest to book final slot, making a total of five finals in female Wrestling. (vitalnewsngr.com)
