After 17 year old Chika Amalaha won Nigeria’s first gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, United Kingdom, our athletes continue to make us proud.
On Day 3 – Saturday 26th July 2014, two Nigerian weightlifters Ndidi Winifred and Yinka Ayenuwa got silver medals for coming in second.
Ndidi Winifred
Ndidi participated in the Women’s 58kg A Final at the Scottish Exhibition And Conference Centre. She got the silver medal, while Zoe Smith of England won gold and Michaela Breeze of Wales got bronze.
