ONDO SWAN LAUDS ADEKUOROYE

The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN),Ondo State Chapter has lauded tell efforts of  Odunayo Adekuoroye for winning a silver medal at the ongoing 2017 World Wrestling Championships in Paris, France



‎
Adekuoroye narrowly lost to Haruna Okuno of Japan 4-5 in the final of the 55kg women's freestyle. While  making it the first time Nigeria will be on the medal table in the tournament.



SWAN in the State believes that this will be a stepping stone for better and greater achievements for the Ondo State born wrestler and for the benefit of the country as a whole.



Adekuoroye, who becomes the first woman from Nigeria to march into the gold medal final at Senior World Wrestling Championships in addition to her 2014 Commonwealth Gold has made the country proud again in sports.



SWAN in Ondo State will also like to charge other sportsmen and women in Nigeria to emulate Adekuoroye by holding the bull by the horn despite the present paucity of fund, remain focused and bring honours to  fatherland Nigeria.



More so, the associtation seek for more support  from both public and private sectors, especially  the organised private sectors to see the need at  supprting sports development in the country   as way and means at getting the teeming youths in the country engaged and also distance from vices and social crimes in the society
