Nigeria concluded its participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics without securing a single medal, making it the country’s most disappointing performance since the London 2012 Games.
The nation’s final hope rested on Hannah Reuben, who competed in the women’s freestyle wrestling 76kg category.
However, Reuben was defeated in the second round, losing 5-2 by points to Mongolia’s Davaanasan Amar Enkh, ending Nigeria’s medal prospects.
The Nigerian contingent, comprising 87 athletes competing across 12 sports, was unable to reach the podium in any event.
The D’Tigress, Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, emerged as the standout performers by advancing to the quarterfinals—a historic achievement for African basketball.
