, Japan is back with laurels that have done the nation proud for which they deserve to be commended. This is not the first time that the nation’s Paralympians will compete in a manner that will endear them and their performance to sporting Nigeria.
We recall that Team Nigeria presented a total of 22 para-athletes across 4 sports — athletics , powerlifting , table tennis , and rowing . Lauritta Onye won bronze in the women F40 shot put event and Flora Ugwunwa added ice on the cake with gold in the F54 javelin event. In powerlifting, Bose Omolayo set a new Paralympic Record with a lift of 141kg in the women’s -79kg category. Also, Oluwafemiayo Folashade set a new World and Paralympics Record with a lift of 152kg in the -86kg category.
Another show of shame in the Olympics was the disqualification of 10 out of Nigeria’s 23 track and field athletes because they did not meet the minimum testing requirements under Rule 15 of the Anti-Doping Rules.
