Nigeria's Eniola Bolaji dominates Spanish Para Badminton International again

Posted : 16 March 2025

The world number 2, Eniola Bolaji, has solidified her dominance in para-badminton SL3 by winning her second medal in two weeks.


The Paralympic bronze medallist triumphed over Turkey's Halime Yildiz 2-0 (21-7, 21-10) in the women’s final at the Spanish Para Badminton International 2025 in Toledo, Spain, on Sunday, 16th March 2025.


Bolaji began her campaign by defeating India’s Sanjana Kumari 2-0 (21-15, 21-8) in the second round, followed by a 2-0 (21-9, 21-12) win over Turkey's Halime Yildiz in the third round.


The multiple African champion then dispatched Ukraine’s Oksana Kozyba 2-0 (21-16, 21-4) in the semifinal.


An elated President of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria, Francis Orbih, praised Eniola Bolaji’s resilience and continued record-breaking achievements in para-badminton.


He highlighted her status as the only African player to win 12 gold medals in all international tournaments she has participated in.


Orbih said, “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Eniola Bolaji on her incredible achievement of winning her 12th gold medal in as many international tournaments. This remarkable feat is a testament to her consistency, resilience, and unwavering dedication to excellence."


He continued, “Bolaji has not only made Nigeria proud but has also firmly stamped her authority in the world of para-badminton. Her journey continues to inspire many, and we at the Badminton Federation of Nigeria remain committed to supporting her as she reaches even greater heights.”


The Nigeria Badminton supremo also expressed excitement about the upcoming All African Para Badminton/Abia International Para Badminton Championships this year, which will provide an opportunity to showcase the country's rich badminton culture. He thanked the Abia state government for accepting to host these two historic events.


He said, “It gives me joy that the giants of Africa in para-badminton will be hosting an international championship and the African championship in Nigeria. It will give us an avenue to further expose other potential champions to the world.”


Recall that Eniola Bolaji won a gold medal at the 2025 Spanish Para-Badminton International II in Vitoria last week.
