Nigeria's female Table Tennis Star, Effiong wants her last Olympics appearance memorable

Posted : 03 July 2024

One of Nigeria's most decorated table tennis stars, Edem Offiong, has said that she hopes to make her last appearance at the Paris 2024 Olympics most memorable by qualifying from the group stage.


Offiong made this statement in an interview about her preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympics in Lagos.


The Calabar-born table tennis player is a serial attendee of the Olympics, having represented Nigeria at the 2004, 2012, 2016, and 2020 Summer Olympics. She has once again qualified to represent Nigeria at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.


In 2023, Offiong emerged as the first Nigerian to win the European Cup Women’s Table Tennis Title.


The 37-year-old, Nigeria’s second-ranked table tennis star, won the first European title for the ASD Quattro Mori Cagliari club.


Regarding her Olympic dreams, Offiong said that her dream is to go past the group stage.


"My target is to pass through the first round because this may be my last appearance at the Olympics. 


"I am happy to have attended the four previous ones, which was an opportunity for me, but I have not really done well enough due to many factors.


"I am going for the fifth one, and I promise to make it as memorable as possible by setting another standard, and I am glad I made my target. 


"This is a dream come true. I have been expecting to experience my last Olympics, and I am happy doing this in my lifetime," she said.
