Paris 2024 Olympics: Team Nigeria finishes without medal

Team Nigeria has officially finished its engagements at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France, without winning a single medal.

Hannah Reuben was the last athlete left to salvage a medal for the West African nation.

But she lost her second round fight in the women’s freestyle wrestling 76kg, losing 5-2 (Victory by points) to Mongolia’s Davaanasan Amar Enkh.

This comes a day after Tobi Amusan failed to secure a place in the final of the women’s 100m hurdles.

Nigeria’s 4x400m men’s relay team were also disqualified after their semi-final race.

It is Nigeria ’s worst outing at the Olympics since London 2012.

The next Olympics will be staged in Los Angeles in 2028.
