The Nigerian team, comprising Samuel Ogazi, Ella Onojuvwevwo, Emmanuel Ifeanyi Ojeli, and Patience Okon-George, set a new national record in the Mixed 4x400m relay, finishing with a time of 3:11.99.
Despite their impressive performance, the team placed fourth in their heat and narrowly missed qualifying for the final. Great Britain won the heat, also setting a national record with a time of 3:10.61.
Nigeria did not advance to the next round of the 4x400m Mixed Relay.
In a related development, prominent members of the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team, including Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker, have arrived in Paris to watch Simone Biles compete in the women’s all-around gymnastics competition.
When the basketball team gathered for training camp, it was nearly unanimous that Biles was the athlete they most wanted to see at the Paris Games.
The basketball team will be present in the gymnastics arena next week, coinciding with the Olympic tournament quarterfinals scheduled for Tuesday.
