Akpan speaking in a chat with brila.net said the semi final win over Egypt was scary after almost blowing what looked like an advantage from been up 2-0(7-3) at some point within touching distance of winning to been levelled at 2-2.
She further added that the Gold medal victory was also an assurance that she still has more to offer in the game.
“I feel great and I so much thank God that my handwork and good training has really shown over here. So I feel so happy knowing that I am still very good irrespective of the years back.
“Honestly when we were leading 2-0 (7-3) I was thinking that with this we are winning, suddenly it changed and were were tied on 2-2. Honestly I was like God what is really happening!”
