Nigeria yet again proved to be the powerhouse in African women wrestling after emerging overall winners in the Women category of the African Wrestling Championships held in Alexandria, Egypt<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nigeria recorded 8 gold and 2 silver out of 10 available medals to clinch the title for a record 15-time<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After an impressive day- one outing with four gold out of possible five, Commonwealth champion Mercy Genesis started for team Nigeria, where they left off by beating Chahrazed AYACHI of Tunisia 6-0 to begin the gold rain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adijat Idris 55kg followed the gold medal trajectory by adding another gold for Nigeria, beating Lobna ICHAOUI of Tunisia 8-0.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the same vein, Esther ASAOLU in the 59kg dispatched Egyptian Mariam Mosbeh 10-0 to win what is Nigeria\u2019s 3rd gold on the night<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mercy Adekuoroye 65kg concluded the incredible day two gold medal haul for the women with a sweat less pinfall performance against Lec Hej Marlyne ANDE of the Central Africa Republic<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Narrowly, Ebi Biogos, who had total control of her tie with 35 seconds before timeout, lost to Zaineb SGHAIER of Tunisia 6-2 in the 72kg final to settle for silver.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In what looked like an evening of silver settlement for the men, Harrison Onovwiomogbhwo broke that narrative by upsetting Egyptian home favourite Mohamed Mostafa 10-4 to win Nigeria\u2019s only gold medal in the men\u2019s freestyle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Earlier, Nigeria\u2019s duo, Ebierelayefa Andrew, lost to Omar Mohamed of Egypt on pinfal 74kg while 65kg Stephen AKINTEWE missed out to another Egyptian Shehabeldin Emam to settle for silver respectively.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dideikemei Erefagha beat Elie DJEKOUNDAKOM of Chad 12-0 70kg as Solomon Ulabo defeated Madagascar’s Totiana RAZAFINJATO 6-0 pinfall in the 79kg to win bronze medals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, in the 61kg, Saviour Egoli beat Mustapha BATNINI of Tunisia in a technical 5-5 scoreline to acquire a bronze medal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The meb ended the tournament as 3rd overall best, resulting in a podium finish.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
