World Wrestling Championship: Nigeria's Adekuoroye grabs Olympics ticket in Serbia

Posted : 21 September 2023
Nigeria's Wrestling Queen, Odunayo Adekuoroye has booked a ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympics after she overcame World Number 12 and Turkey’s Elvira Kamalogi to clinch bronze medal at the ongoing World Wrestling Championship in Serbia.

Adekuoroye had to put the quater-final loss of the World Championships behind her to ensure a victory in the third place match against Turkey’s Kamalogi.

With the victory, Adekunroye has now secured a ticket to next year’s Olympic games in Paris.

Adekunroye, competing in the 57kg women’s category, had earlier defeated World number four and Brazilian International Giullia Oliveira 10-7 in the first round bout, before going on to win United World Wrestling’s Sarita in the Round of 16.

The Nigerian Wrestling star, ranked 22nd in the world, lost her quarter-final bout to Moldova’s Anastasia Nich Ita by 10-0 on Tuesday and so, needed a win at reperchage to stand a chance to contest for Bronze.

She however, redeemed her chances by beating Bulgaria’s Evelina Georgiev Nikolova 14-7 on Wednesday in the reperchage contest, giving her a chance to contest for a bronze medal and a ticket to the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
