Riyadh 2025: Nigeria Climbs to 29 Medals with 10 Gold

Posted : 21 November 2025

Team Nigeria erupted in wild celebration at the Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Stadium as the quartet of Gafaru Atanda Badmus, Anita Enaruna, Ezekiel Asuquo, and Patience Okon George delivered a sensational victory in the 4×400m mixed relay, finishing in 3:16.27.

The atmosphere was electric; fans cheered, danced, and roared as the team crossed the line, capping off what many described as the “perfect climax” to a remarkable night for Nigeria.

The relay triumph added to an already impressive medal haul, bringing Nigeria’s tally on the penultimate day of the Islamic Solidarity Games to two gold and two silver medals across athletics, wrestling, and shot put.

With the latest results, Nigeria’s overall medal count rose to 29—10 gold, 12 silver, and 7 bronze—strengthening the nation’s position as one of the standout teams at the Games.

The night’s success began on the wrestling mat, where Esther Kolawole dominated her category to win gold in the Women’s Freestyle 62kg. In the same session, Damola Ojo fought admirably but settled for silver after losing to Kyrgyzstan’s Aiperi Kyzy in a fiercely contested 76kg final.

Nigeria continued its momentum in the field events. In the Women’s Shot Put final, Oyesade Olatoye delivered an impressive performance to secure silver, finishing behind Turkey’s Emel Dereli.

As the competition wraps up tomorrow, expectations remain high. Para-powerlifting stars Folashade Oluwafemiayo and Roland Ezuruike are set to compete, with many anticipating a strong push for additional gold medals.

With the final events ahead, Team Nigeria is poised to close the Games on a high note—driven by resilience, passion, and the unwavering spirit that inspires millions across the nation.
