Saidu told www.aclsports.com that Anyanacho fought like a champion on the mat adding that the experience gathered in the last three years has helped improve her fight.

He said, “Despite other athletes missing out in the automatic qualification race for Paris 2024, Anyanacho fought like the champion and made it to the final.

“I am happy that Elizabeth Anyanacho has improved drastically; it shows that her training and sacrifices are paying off. She has been away after the 2020 Tokyo Olympic training in Germany; they have all the facilities to put athletes in top shape.

He said, “Ofcourse we were disappointed we did not qualify more athletes for the Games. I had wanted the Nigeria Taekwondo Federation to present more athletes at the Olympic Games which would have been an added advantage for the Federation”.

Saidu told www.aclsports.com that all attention will be shifted to the African Games, promising that the athletes will not let the nation down.
