It was heartbreak for Nigeria's medal hopeful in women's freestyle wrestling, Odunayo Adekuoroye, as she lost to China's Hong Kexin in the 57kg quarterfinal at the Paris Olympics.
 
Adekuoroye, ranked World No. 3, showed promise after dismantling Chaimaa Aouiss of Algeria in the Round of 16.
 
However, in the quarterfinal, she faced a close contest but ultimately lost 8-10 by pin fall.
 
This defeat leaves Adekuoroye hoping to fight for a bronze medal, contingent on Hong reaching the final, which would allow Adekuoroye to compete in the repechage.
