NGAt the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, Nigerian athlete Ella Onojuvwevwo secured a bronze medal in the women's 400 meters, ending Nigeria's 32-year medal drought in the event. This achievement marks the first medal for Nigeria in this category since Fatima Yusuf-Olukoju won silver at the 1994 Games. Onojuvwevwo's victory is historically significant, as she becomes only the third Nigerian woman to earn a Commonwealth Games medal in the women's 400m, joining Yusuf-Olukoju and Charity Opara. The result has generated optimism for Nigeria's prospects in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, which will coincide with the 32nd anniversary of Nigeria's last Olympic medal in the same event. Yusuf-Olukoju celebrated the achievement on social media, praising Onojuvwevwo for restoring Nigeria's presence in the sport.
