Nigeria gets gold medal in 2012 London Paralympics setting a new World Record
« on: August 30, 2012, 10:31:25 PM »
What the full men and women cannot do, the auto complete Nigerians have done it for the country

Nigeria’s Yakubu Adesokan on Thursday evening won gold medal in the ongoing London 2012 Paralympic Games in a weightlifting category, smashing the world record in the process.

He lifted 178kg, threefold his body weight, in the men’s 48kg category to claim the ultimate prize.

Asides from breaking the world record, 33-year-old Adesokan’s feat is the first gold by an African country at the two-day-old tournament, which ends on 9th September.
