Nigerian athletes are making their mark on the global stage at the 2024 Paralympic Games in France. Benson Nworgu Ogechika Esther has added to Nigeria’s medal tally by winning a Silver medal in the Women’s Up to 41kg Para-Powerlifting event.
Esther delivered an outstanding performance, setting two new Paralympic Records with lifts of 112kg and 118kg. Her achievement placed her just behind China’s Zhe Cui, who secured the Gold by lifting 119kg.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Esther was moved to tears as she celebrated her first Paralympic medal, a Silver, in the women’s 41kg powerlifting category.
Hailing from Abia State, Esther’s achievement is a testament to the determination and strength of Nigerian athletes. Her success has brought pride to the nation and further highlighted Nigeria’s presence on the global Paralympic medal map.
