Igali Excited Over Oceania Wrestling Outing
President of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Hon. Daniel Igali, has stated that he is happy with Nigeria’s outing at the just concluded Oceania Africa wrestling Olympic Qualifying tournament in Tunisia, after qualifying four more athletes in addition to the one on ground to make a total of five wrestlers for Nigeria’s Olympic sojourn.
Igali, speaking in a chat with Tidesports source, stressed that though five slots were what the Federation achieved eventually, they wanted more and revealed that it was a miss, losing Blessing Onyebuchi, to injury a few days to the Oceania Africa Olympic qualifiers.
He added that they did not quite meet up with the target expected for the men, who had only Ekerekeme Agiomor qualifying out of the five men that made the trip, unlike the women who qualified three out of four.
