Nigeria’s super lifter, Folashade Oluwafemiayo has just broken her World Record in the Women’s over 86kg Para-Powerlifting, becoming the first female Para-athlete in history to lift 166kg.
The lifting was an improvement from her existing World Record of 165kg. She also added a gold medal to the record.
This was an incredible performance from Oluwafemiayo who takes Nigeria’s overall tally at the Paralympics to seven medals.
Her win came on the heels of the Super Eagles’s AFCON qualifier match against Cheetahs of Benin Republic, where Nigeria defeated their opponents 3-0 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria on Saturday.
