As the 2024 Paris Olympics near their conclusion, Team Nigeria is struggling to secure any medals, with many athletes eliminated from their events. Nigerian athletes had previously shown promise in qualifying but have faced significant challenges in the Olympics, resulting in a series of disappointing performances across various sports. Notable contenders, including Ese Brume in women's long jump and Folashade Rafiatu Lawal in weightlifting, fell short of podium finishes, further diminishing hopes for a medal. The only remaining chance for Nigeria lies with reigning African wrestling champion Hannah Reuben, who is set to compete in her event. Historically, Nigeria has struggled to convert continental successes into Olympic success, and this year appears to be no different, as many competitors, including Olympic captain Anuoluwapo Opeyori and Blessing Oborududu, have already been eliminated. The Nigerian sports community remains hopeful for an unexpected turnaround in the remaining events.
