Tokyo 2020: I'm Not Under Pressure To Win Medals - Adekunroye
By Sampson Adedeji
Nigeria wrestling sensation Odunayo Adekunroye has said she is not under pressure to win medals at the forthcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympic games, BSNSports.com.ng can reports.
Adekunroye who is presently the current commonwealth champion has established herself as one of the best wrestler in the 57kg category.
She has made it clear her readiness to compete adequately but not doing so under pressure.
“I don’t have any pressure going to the Olympics, I’ve been to the Olympics before (in Rio 2016),” the former World No. 1 said.
“I’ve trained physically. Mentally, I have trained myself and my coach has been on me every time. Even the President (Daniel Igali) still comes to our training just to teach me some things.
“So, having an Olympic champion (Daniel Igali) in my gym, having a world-class coach (Purity Akuh), with my training partners also doing brilliantly well. So, I don’t have any pressure going to the Olympics."
“I believe by the special grace of God, it’s my time to shine. So, I will definitely bring gold to Nigeria by His grace," she told the federation media.
