Nigeria’s Blessing Oborududu suffered a 1-4 loss to Tamyra Marianna Stock Mensah of the United States in the final of Tokyo Olympic women’s wrestling event to claim a silver medal.
Oborududu has won a Gold medal at the African Wrestling Championships every year for the last 11 years, except for 2012 when she did not enter due to competing in the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Oborududu’s new medal makes it a total of two medals for Nigeria in the ongoing Tokyo2020 Olympic in Japan. Ese Brume earlier won Bronze medal in the woman’s high Jump event.
