Eniola Bolaji made history by becoming the first African to win a Para-Badminton medal, claiming bronze for Nigeria in the Women’s Singles SL3 category at the Paralympics.
On Monday, she secured victory against Ukraine’s Oksana Kozyna, winning 2-0 (21-9, 21-9).
Despite falling short in the semi-final against China’s Zuxian Xiao, Bolaji’s strong performance brought an end to Nigeria’s recent medal drought following struggles at the Olympic Games and the World U-20 Athletics Championship.
