Purity Akuh, coach of the Nigerian wrestling team at the African Games, expressed profound satisfaction with the team’s performance, applauding their achievement of winning six out of six gold medals at the Games in Ghana.
Akuh attributed the success to the team’s hard work and dedication, emphasizing that their remarkable performance was not unexpected given their preparation and support.
“It’s so amazing,” Akuh remarked. “I said it in my earlier interview that we’re going to take 6 on 6.
We worked so hard, and with the support of our president, Daniel Igali, we have been in camp.
He has been encouraging us. We started our preparation since last year, and I told you earlier that we were in Croatia and in France pre-tournament, so I’m not too surprised that we took 6 on 6.”
His words underscore the team’s meticulous preparation and the unwavering support they received from their leadership, resulting in their outstanding performance at the African Games.
