Ambitious Stephanie aims to represent Nigeria on the Olympics. Speaking with news men at the closing of the National Sports Festival, Stephanie has appeal for support to realise her dream.

“I feel very happy because this is my first National Sports Festival. Though I was scared of the other opponents at some point because they were doing double back’, ‘double Arabian’ and falling’.

“In the next 10 years, I see myself in the Olympics but I ask the government to give us better equipment so that I can be able to do my double back’ myself,” she said.
