A huge round of applause for Esther Ogechi Nworgu, who has just won Team Nigeria’s second medal—a silver—in the women’s up to 41kg Para-Powerlifting category at the ongoing Paris 2024 Paralympic Games!
Esther delivered an outstanding performance, setting two new Paralympic records during her final attempts. She successfully lifted 112kg and then pushed herself further to achieve an impressive 118kg. Despite her remarkable efforts, Esther finished just behind China's Zhe Cui, who claimed the gold medal with a new Paralympic record of 119kg.
This achievement not only highlights Esther's incredible talent and determination but also adds to Nigeria’s growing success at the Paralympic Games. Her hard work and dedication serve as an inspiration to many, showcasing the spirit of resilience and excellence in sports. Congratulations, Esther, on this well-deserved recognition!
