In the 35 kg category, Oriowo Kehinde won a bronze medal, defeating his opponent convincingly.
Head Coach of Ondo State Judo, Ojo Oluwatoyin, stated that hard work and tactics were key factors in earning the team's medals.
"Tactically, our judokas were better than those from some other states, and besides that, we worked hard before arriving here. I’m satisfied with the results."
Ondo State now has a total of 11 medals: 4 gold, 3 silver, and 4 bronze.
