Tokyo Olympics: Wrestler Oborududu makes history, wins Nigeria’s first silver Nigerian wrestler Blessing Oborududu has won the first silver medal for Nigeria in the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Oborududu is the first Nigerian wrestler ever to win a silver medal at the Games. Oborududu, who is also the first-ever Nigerian to win an Olympics medal in wrestling, qualified for the final after defeating Mongolia’s Soronzonboldyn Battsetseg 7-2 in the semi-finals.
