Clinton Opute, Team Delta's multiple gold medalist in the men's swimming events at the ongoing 22nd National Sports Festival tagged Gateway Games, Ogun 2025, has set his sights on winning more gold medals despite having already shattered three records in the swimming competitions.


The Ukwuani Local Government swimming sensation broke the record in the men's 200 meters butterfly event, clocking 2:10.6 seconds to surpass his earlier record of 2:13.3 seconds.

He also set a new record in the men's 200 meters individual medley, shaving off 2 seconds from the previous record of 2:16.06 seconds to 2:14.27 seconds.


The calm and confident swimming champion, who has won six gold medals and one silver medal so far in the ongoing games, said his quest to win more medals for Team Delta has not diminished. He hopes to claim more gold medals for the state, stressing that his aim is to help his state retain its title as National Sports Festival champions.

The swimming events will continue tomorrow after officials declared today a rest day.


In another development, Team Delta’s female football team has advanced to the semi-finals after beating their Team Lagos counterparts 2-1 to advance from Group B alongside the National Under-17 female team. They will meet either hosts Team Ogun or Team Osun in the semi-final stage.
