“What will the Sports Minister John Owen Enoh tell President Bola Tinubu now that Nigeria failed to win a single medal at the Paris Olympics?” That was the big question by the chairman of Gombe State Athletics Association, Shuiabu Gara-Gombe, on Friday, shortly after World Record holder, Tobi Amusan, failed to qualify for the final of the 100m hurdles event at the Paris Olympics.
Indian grappler Aman Sehrawat bagged a bronze medal in the men's 57kg wrestling at Paris Olympics on Friday. Aman surpassed PV Sindhu's record to become India's youngest medal winner, at 21 years and 24 days old.
Neeraj Chopra said that his mother spoke from her heart when she said that Pakistan athlete Arshad Nadeem was 'like her son' after Pakistan and India claimed the top two medals in men's javelin throw at the Paris Olympics 2024. Nadeem came up with a monster 92.97m throw to break the Olympic record and clinch the gold while Neeraj's season best 89.45m throw earned him the silver. After the event, Neeraj's mother - Saroj Devi - was asked about Nadeem winning the gold ahead of her son and she responded by saying that 'the one who got the gold is also like our son'. Neeraj said that his mother is not influenced by what's happening on social media and always speaks from her heart.
Grappler Aman Sehrawat provided a bronze medal to India in wrestling at the ongoing Paris Olympics but the focus will now shift to Reetika Hooda, who will be competing in the women's freestyle 76kg. India's medal tally after Aman's achievement rose to 6 (one silver and 5 bronze) and if Reetika manages to put an impressive show, India could equal its Tokyo Olympic feat of 7 medals which also happens to be the country's best performance in the Games history so far.
As Vinesh Phogat arrived at the Paris Olympic Games, her biggest challenge wasn't to compete against an astounding list of wrestlers but to manage her weight as she was competing in the 50kg category, contrary to the 53kg category she was more comfortable in. Months before the Olympic Games were to start in Paris, Vinesh tried to do her best and fetch the lone 53kg spot, but Antim Panghal, a 2023 World Championship bronze medallist in the weight category, had won slot in this category.
Arshad Nadeem has catapulted to Pakistan sporting hall of fame, as he smashed the Olympic record twice in the javelin throw final at Paris Olympics 2024, en route to clinching gold. Nadeem's throw of 92.97m won Pakistan their first Olympic medal in 32 years, ahead of India's Neeraj Chopra. Following on from the historic win, Nadeem will be richly awarded, with reports stating that several cash prizes and felicitations have already been announced by ministers and personalities in Pakistan. Let's take a look at the list of prizes Nadeem has been confirmed to receive so far.
Six days after he promised to investigate and sanction whoever was responsible for the non-registration of U.S.-based sprinter, Favour Ofili, for the 100m event at the Paris 2024 Olympics and with no report yet, Sports Minister, John Own Enoh, has come out to debunk reports on social media about cyclist, Ese Ukpeseraye, not having the equipment to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Aman Sehrawat scripted history by becoming India's youngest ever medalist at the Olympics as he claimed bronze in the 57kg freestyle wrestling event at the Paris Olympics 2024. Aman defeated Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz in the bronze medal match on Friday to clinch India's first medal in wrestling at this year's Olympics. In an interview with NDTV, Aman opened up about what the medal meant for him and said that although his dream was to win the gold, this medal will motivate him to perform well in 2028.
