Nigeria has won six gold medals in wrestling at the current All African Games, hosted by Ghana.
Mercy Genesis earned Nigeria’s first gold medal in the 50kg women’s wrestling competition.
Mercy won the gold medal after defeating Egypt’s Mohamed Nada 7-0.
Mercy’s victory was followed by that of Christiana Ogunsanya, who defeated Nogona Bakayoko of Cote D’Ivoire 11-0 to claim the gold medal.
In addition, Adekuoroye Odunayo won gold for Nigeria in the 57kg division. Kolawole Omolayo also won gold in the 62kg event.
Two more golds from Blessing Oburududu and Rueben Hannah Amuchechi in 68kg and 76kg brought Nigeria’s gold medals in wrestling to six so far.
Daniel Igali, president of the Nigerian Wrestling Federation, said: “I’ve been very impressed with the way they wrestled, and I think if they continue in that trajectory, Nigeria should be hopeful of many many gold medals in the evening.” Read
