Nigeria wrestling federation protest against oburodudu bronze medal match
The Nigerian Wrestling Federation (NWF) has written a strongly worded petition to the United World Wrestling (UWW) Federation questioning the decision to adjudge Renteria Castillo of Columbia winner of the 63kg female bronze medal match over Nigeria’s Blessing Oborududu. Circlemark gathered that during the bronze medal finals event between Renteria and Oborududu, the Nigerian wrestler was leading by a one point score with about five seconds to the end of the second period. “Oborududu had a low single leg attack on Renteria who was trying to go behind without success, not only were the laces of her shoes undone, the shoe itself came off the leg of Renteria, she was then able to remove her leg and without hassle go behind Oborududu with bare feet. “Instead of stopping the match and cautioning Renteria and possibly concluding the remaining 5 or 3 seconds, Renteria was awarded 2 points and went on to win the match by a one point score,” the petition read i
