17 year old Ayomide Bello is headed for the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo.
Now more than ever, Nigerian women are making deep strides in areas of sports. For the first time, Nigeria would have its first ever female canoeist at the Olympics.
At such a young age, Ayomide Bello has beaten other African contenders at the C1 200 event at Africa’s Tokyo 2020 qualifiers in Morocco to claim the spot.
Ayomide Bello is not the only Nigerian athlete so far to compete in canoeing at the Olympics as, Jonathan Akinyemi had previously represented the country at the London Games in 2012 and Rio in 2015.
