D’Tigress Makes a Triumphant Comeback with Olympic Win

Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, achieved a remarkable victory as they made their highly anticipated comeback to the Olympic stage. They secured a convincing 75-62 win against Australia’s Opals in their opening game at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

This remarkable triumph signifies a momentous occasion for Nigerian basketball, as it represents their inaugural Olympic victory since the Athens 2004 Games. The team’s impressive performance has sparked a renewed sense of optimism among the nation, as they eagerly anticipate their representatives’ success on the global sporting stage.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian contingent at the Olympics has encountered a setback as boxer Cynthia Ogunsemilore has been disqualified following a failed drugs test. A 22-year-old athlete has been disqualified from the Games due to a positive doping control, making them the second athlete to face this consequence.

With a poor start for most African contingents, D’Tigress aims to sustain their momentum and capitalise on their impressive opening victory.
