Team Nigeria on Monday went totally insane after they won
third place at table tennis at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth
Games.
It all went down when Nigerias’ Ojo Onalopop (ranked 488th in
the world) beat India’s Kamal Achanta (ranked 50th in the
world) to seal a bronze medal for the Nigerian team.
The team was so happy that their emotions began to overflow…
and then the pants came off.
Check out the video of how Team Nigeria celebrate their victory
(story continues below) :
Team Nigeria on Monday returned to the zenith of tennis at the
Commonwealth Games after beating India 3-1 to claim the
bronze medal in the men’s team event.
Though, in the rating of International Table Tennis Federation
(ITTF), Nigeria had been seeded below India and most of the
Indian players were rated higher than the entire Nigerian
team, bookmakers were proved wrong. The youthful Nigerian
side turned the table against the Asian giant to clinch Nigeria’s
first medal in table tennis at the Commonwealth Games in the
last eight years.
An elated NTTF boss, Oshodi described the win as result of
years of hard work, adding that Nigerian players are talented. "I
think the gap between our players and some of these top
players is not much and what our players need more is
exposure and they will be up there," he said.
