Nigeria’s Adekuoroye Crashes Out Of 2024 Olympics, Loses To China
Nigeria’s Odunayo Adekuoroye lost 8-10 to China’s Hong Kexin on Thursday in the women’s freestyle 57-kilogramme event of the 2024 Olympic Games wrestling competition.
In the quarter-final match at the Champ-de-Mars Arena in Paris, both wrestlers were even by the end of the bout’s first period despite the Nigerian’s early lead.
But Hong pulled away in the second period, scoring technical points freely as she headed into the semi-finals.
NAN reports that Adekuoroye had earlier in the day in the first round overcame Algerian Chaimaa Aouissi who got injured.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that she now hopes to fight for a bronze medal if the Chinese make it to the final for her to compete in the repechage.
