Weightlifter, Adijat Adenike Olarinonye, has won the first gold medal for Nigeria at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Olarinoye recorded a total of 203kg in the women’s 55kg weightlifting event.

Having almost missed out due to a technical issue in her final lift, she was able to eventually come out tops.

Bindyarani Devi Sorokhaibam from India won the silver medal, while England’s Fraer Morrow got the bronze.
