Nigeria’s taekwondo athlete, Elizabeth Anyanacho has said she participated in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, four years earlier than her original plan of Paris 2024.
She made this known after she lost out to double Olympics Medalist and former world champion, Nur Tartar of Turkey 12-7 in the female -67kg taekwondo event.
“This means I am totally out of fighting for a podium place at the Tokyo Olympics. I have cried and I still feel hurt because I wanted to spring a good surprise, despite being 4 years early to my original Paris 2024 Olympics.
“It has been quite a journey. Truly, a long and challenging journey with a rollercoaster of emotions.
Taekwondo player, Elizabeth Anyanacho and table tennis star, Edem Offiong were the latest Team Nigeria athletes to exit the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Anyanacho in particular suffered a blow in her quest for an Olympic medal in the early hours of Monday against a much matured and experienced double Olympic medallist, Nur Tartar of Turkey.
Tartar showed class and applied experience winning 12 – 7 against the Nigerian debutant who proved that the future belongs to her with a performance that stunned many who could not believe she was fighting in her first Olympics.
The defeat left the 22-year-old Anyanacho gutted and she could not help but to succumb to crying.
