NIGERIA'S D'TIGRESS STUNS WORLD NO. 3 AUSTRALIA

Nigeria's female basketball national D'Tigress planted a big smile on the faces of Nigerians since the Paris Summer Games started with a sweet win over World number 3 Australia on Monday at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium, Villeneuve d'Ascq, France. The Australian Opals have had a horror start to their 2024 Olympic campaign, going down by 13 points to Nigeria, who registered their first Olympic win since 2004. The victory which is the first for any of the 12 sport Team Nigeria is participating in at the Games is enjoying a huge celebration across Africa's most populous country. Turnovers and missed free throws were the story of the night for Australia, with the presumed medal contenders losing the ball 26 times and shooting just 8-of-18 from the charity stripe. Ezinne Kalu starred for Nigeria, scoring 19 points and grabbing five rebounds in the win, while Promise Amukamara added 14 and Amy Okonkwo contributed 13. Alanna Smith was the standout for the Opals, with 15 points and seven boards, while Sami Whitcomb added 13 points. With the Opals dropping what many assumed was a guaranteed win against Nigeria, they will now need to go back to the drawing board before taking on Canada on Thursday, with the team suddenly finding themselves fighting for their Olympic lives. Meanwhile, Nigeria have a big date to keep with host France also on Thursday. ‪@first_zealmediacastblog‬ #first_zealmediacastblog
