The Nigerian Olympic team is yet to win any medal at the ongoing games in Paris, France. The less than good performance is coming on the heels of N8 billion that was allocated to the Nigeria Olympic Committee by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

What is the medal count at 2024 Paris Games this Sunday?

Medals will be awarded in 25 events as the 2024 Paris Olympics hit their midpoint Sunday.

The marquee event will take place on the track at Stade de France, where the world’s fastest man will be crowned in the final of the 100 meters.

Reigning world champion Noah Lyles will look to become the first American to win the Olympic title in the event since Justin Gatlin in 2004.

Also, today will be the final day for swimming in Paris, with medals handed out in the men’s and women’s 4×100 medley relays.
