Ogunsanya loses in wrestling opening bout at Olympics
Christianah Ogunsanya of Team Nigeria on Wednesday crashed out of the women’s freestyle 53 kilogramme event of the wrestling competition at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Ogunsanya lost 1-3 to Khulan Batkhuyag of Mongolia in her round of 16 bout at the Champ-de-Mars Arena, making her the team’s second casualty in the competition.
Blessing Oborududu had earlier failed in Nigeria’s opening quest to win medals in the sport at the games.
She got to the semi-finals though, but then lost in the bronze medal match.
But Ogunsanya did not have such a luxury, as she lost the bout right in the first period.(NAN)
