Nigeria’s Eniola Bolaji poses with other contestants at the medal presentation ceremony in Spain on May 16, 2021.Nigeria’s Eniola Bolaji has made history as the first African to reach the final and win gold at a major para badminton international championship.
Competing in the Female Standing 3 category, she lost the first game 18-21 but fought back to win the last two games – 21-14, 21-18, clinching a record-breaking gold medal at the tourney. At the medal presentation ceremony, a minute of applause was held to remember coach/player, Bello Oyebanji, who died in a ghastly accident while trying to secure his visa for the tournament.
According to the President of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria, Frank Orbih, Bolaji’s victory is just a test of the great prospect of para badminton in the country if given the necessary support and attention.
