D’Tigress Pulls Off Stunning Win Over Australia at Olympics
The D’Tigress of Nigeria have defeated the Opals of Australia in their first match at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Rena Wakama-led ladies pulled off a spirited performance to beat the Australians 75-62 at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium on Monday.
The victory was the team’s first win in an Olympic match since Athens 2004, when they defeated South Korea in an inconsequential classification game after crashing out.
The Australians were listed as third on the competition’s power ranking, while Nigeria was named 12th.
