VIDEO: Nigeria’s Enekwechi washes his ‘only’ jersey ahead of shot put final at Tokyo Olympics

Team Nigeria’s Chukwuebuka Enekwechi has shared a video wherein he appeared to be washing his “only” jersey ahead of the shot put final at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.

Earlier on Tuesday, the 28-year-old Nigerian-American had secured one of the non-automatic qualifying spots for the final after clinching the fourth position in group B.

He ranked seventh on the overall qualification log after hitting the mark of 21.16 meters.

Upon qualifying for the final, which is billed to hold on August 5, the African champion uploaded the short video of himself washing his jersey in a sink under running tap water.

The now-viral clip, which was uploaded on his Instagram page on Tuesday evening, was followed with the caption: “When you qualify for Olympic Finals, but you have only one jersey.”

Nigerian athletes at the Tokyo Olympics have been complaining about logistical mishaps from the country’s sports administrators.

Blessing Okagbare had earlier slammed the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) after 10 of her colleagues were disqualified for not meeting the Olympics doping tests requirement.

Chimezie Metu, D’Tigers power forward, also blamed the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) and sports ministry for the country’s woeful performance at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
