An excited Atinuke Alfred-Olajide expressed her immense happiness after topping both of her main events. The young swimmer stated that she would continue to develop and enhance her performance. 


“I am very happy to win gold here. I’m extremely grateful and believe I can further improve my game,” Atinuke said. 


She also mentioned, “Bayelsa State should expect great things from me with hard work and training. I look forward to making my state and nation proud.”

“I felt really happy because I knew I could achieve it, and it’s fantastic to win gold,” Boluwatife said.


She added, “I understand that expectations are now high for the family, but I will continue to improve and work hard because I see myself competing in many international events and possibly the Olympics.”
