The
captain of Nigeria Badminton team, Gideon Babalola believes that the country's Badminton
would put up a more credible performance in subsequent events after they came
3rd at just the concluded African Badminton Championship held in South Africa.
According
to him, “I want to first of all give glory to Almighty if not we wouldn’t have participated
in this year's event because we went through lots of things en route the
championship.
“More
so, I believed we have learnt a lot and I can assure you all that subsequently
we would make the country proud more as we hope to take part in more events of Badminton,”
babalola submitted.
Also
speaking at the final day of this year's event, bronze medalist in female
single's event, Dorcas Adesokan said, “Let me attributes our not too
impressive performance to lack of players as we got tired when the event became
intense.”
It
would be recalled that Nigeria Badminton came third in the team's event while
Dorcas Adesokan won bronze medal at her single's event, Zinab Momoh and Dorcas
Adesokan both clinched bronze at the doubles event.
However
this year's Africa Badminton Nations Cup log shows Egypt booking the first
position, host country South Africa who were paired in the same group with
Nigeria came second while Nigeria finished third on the log.
