Nigeria achieved its best-ever performance at the 15th African Archery Championships in Oran, Algeria, winning one gold, five silver, and one bronze medal. The success was highlighted by Damilola Sholademi, a Nigerian archer competing with borrowed equipment after his bow went missing during transit. Sholademi played a crucial role in securing the medals, including helping the men’s compound team win silver. Nigeria’s gold came from the women’s barebow team event, where they defeated Algeria. Sholademi emphasized the importance of mental resilience over equipment, noting that the team’s achievements were due to years of training and collaboration between the Nigeria Archery Federation and military archery clubs.
