Chukwuebuka Enekwechi has emerged another finalist for the Shot Put at the ongoing Tokyo Olympic Games.
The 28-year-old made it to the final of the men category after he launched his implement to a mark of 21.16m on Tuesday afternoon.
His mark was enough to place him 4th in the race and to hand him one of the non-automatic qualifying spots for the final.
The 2018 Commonwealth Games Silver medallist and reigning African Champion in the shot put will now battle for a medal in the men’s final billed to hold on Thursday.
He seeks to join the list of Nigeria medalists after Ese Brume, who had opened the medal bag with a bronze in the women’s Long Jump event before Blessing Oborodudu won a silver medal in the women’s 68kg wrestling.
