“This victory is the result of hard work, discipline, and commitment. Our athletes gave their all, and I’m proud of what they have achieved. Winning 19 gold medals is a remarkable feat, and it shows that Lagos is fully invested in armwrestling,” she said.

Despite tough competition from teams across Nigeria, Team Lagos stood out with their technical superiority and unwavering resilience.

With over 120 athletes competing fiercely, the championship witnessed thrilling battles, but the Lagos athletes consistently proved their mettle, dominating multiple weight categories.

Looking ahead, Coach Adamoh assured that this victory is just a stepping stone to greater success.

“This win motivates us to aim even higher. We are not stopping here—we are already preparing for the African Championship in Abuja. Our goal is to dominate not just in Nigeria but on the continental and global stage,” she added.

With this outstanding performance at the National Open Armwrestling Championship, Team Lagos has firmly established itself as the team to watch in Nigerian armwrestling.
