Team Nigeria’s run of losses at the ongoing 2024 Olympic Games in Paris continued on Sunday with boxer Olaitan Olaore crashing out of the men’s 92kg heavyweight event.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olaore lost 0-5 to Kazakhstan’s Oralbay Aibek to add to his team’s misery which had begun on Wednesday in Bordeaux following Super Falcons 0-1 defeat to Brazil in women’s football match.
Aibek was really in command of the round of 16 bout at the North Paris Arena, winning all three rounds on all the five judges’ cards.
Olaore joined the Team Nigeria, which sidelined Cynthia Ogunsemilore, who was disqualified after failing a doping test, and Dolapo Omole, who was ruled out due to injury.
