Team Nigeria’s Blessing Oborududu on Tuesday made the country proud by winning a silver medal in the women’s freestyle 68kg wrestling category.
Recall she had guaranteed Nigeria a medal on Monday after beating Mongolia’s Battsetseg Soronzonbold to reach the final.
Although she lost the final to USA’s Stock Mensah Tamyra Marianna 4-1, the 32-year-old can be proud of her achievement after earning Nigeria’s second medal at the Tokyo games.
Earlier in the day, Ese Brume had made the country proud by winning bronze in long jump.
