Ohaike: Expect more medals

Team Nigeria’s chances of adding more medals to their kitty gets brighter with the beginning of events in wrestling at the ongoing XX Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
The venue for wrestling is at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre and the technical director of Nigerian Wrestling Federation, Damian Ohaike, has predicted more medals for Team Nigeria.
“We’ve never disappointed when it comes to wrestling. We’re going to do well and I am sure that more medals would be won by my matsmen and women,’’ Ohaike enthused.
Nigerian wrestlers have made their marks in the mats and are equally known by their opponents as tough nuts any day.
”We know ourselves by virtue of the fact that we meet at events. But we hold the ace. And they will be surprised by the skill and technicality of the female wrestlers. They are so good that they will rule the mats here,’’ Ohaike said, noting that the males, too, would win medals for Nigeria.
At the Commonwealth Games, the Wrestlers would only wrestle in the freestyle events as the Greco-Roman was not approved.
“We’re taking part in the freestyles. We’re good to go,’’ Ohaike assured.
