Team Nigeria continues to shine at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, with their athletes delivering and adding more medals to the country’s tally.

Day 10 was particularly successful, with Nigeria earning a silver in powerlifting, a bronze in para-table tennis, and another silver in javelin.

Here’s a breakdown of the day’s events.

Omolayo Wins Silver in Para-Powerlifting

This is Omolayo’s third consecutive Paralympic podium finish, having won gold in Rio and Tokyo.

Omolayo lifted 145kg to secure the silver, but the journey was not without its challenges.

After her first attempt, she suffered an injury to her right arm, which caused discomfort and led to two consecutive no-lifts. Despite these setbacks, her initial lift was enough to clinch the medal.

Nigeria’s Isau Ogunkunle added a bronze medal to the nation’s tally in para-table tennis.

Ogunkunle faced South Korea’s Young-Gun Kim in the semifinal, where he put up a spirited fight but ultimately lost 3-1 (11-9, 5-11, 4-11, 11-13).

Ogunkunle came close to forcing a fifth set, taking the fourth set to a tie-break, but the more experienced South Korean player prevailed.

In para-table tennis, both losing semifinalists automatically receive a bronze medal, so Ogunkunle’s didn’t need to play a third place round.

Nigeria’s Flora Ugwunwa secured her third consecutive Paralympic medal, winning a silver in the women’s javelin F54 event.

Ugwunwa’s best throw of 19.26m earned her the silver medal, adding to her gold medals from Rio and Tokyo.

The 40-year-old athlete has now medaled in three consecutive Paralympic Games.

Her silver in Paris marked Nigeria’s fourth overall medal of the Games in athletics.

Lauritta Onye Finishes 5th in Women’s Shot Put F40

In the women’s shot put F40 event, Lauritta Onye, a former Paralympic champion and world record holder, gave her best effort but narrowly missed out on a podium finish, coming in fifth.

Onye recorded her best throw of the season, reaching 8.50m on her first attempt, but was unable to improve on that mark after three fouls in her six attempts.

Though Onye, now 40 years old, didn’t make it to the podium, her continued competitiveness at this stage of her career is remarkable.

Lara Baars, the current world record holder and today’s gold medalist, was just 20 years old when she competed in Rio, while Onye was already a Paralympic champion.
