Favour Isioma, a participant in the 7th National Youth Games has revealed that her lifelong ambition is to participate in the Olympics and win gold for Nigeria admitting that she knows that it’s going to be a herculean task.
The Agbo-born athlete who is representing Delta State who is also the host of the event in Asaba is competing in the U-15 100m category in athletics.
Speaking of her love for the game which prompted her involvement and desire to represent her state, Favour said – “I like this sport from my childhood and I was invited also to join a proper setup for athletics and it’s just barely three months that I started”.
“Then I was told that we have a U-15 youth outing and that we should submit our NIN and some certificates which we did and here we are”.
“I love this really and there’s no way to express my passion for the sport. Aside from competing, it keeps me healthy also”, she added.

On her personal ambition – “I have a very big target for myself, after this U-15, I’m not coming here again because I’m training more harder to go for the U-17 competition and the target is to travel and participate in European competitions for Nigeria.”
“I want to win gold at the Olympics someday and it’s through training and hard work because it’s beyond mere words. By God’s grace and prayer for strength, I know I can achieve that someday, everything will come to pass”, Favour Isioma assured.
