“My next target is the world stage,” Kolawole said.
According to the Nigerian wrestling star, her hunger and ambition have only grown stronger despite already dominating African competition.

Kolawole admitted that winning consistently on the continent has now shifted her attention toward the World Championships and future Olympic competitions.
“The goal now is to become a world champion and do well at the Olympics,” she noted.
The wrestler stressed that remaining at the top requires constant discipline, hard work, and motivation.
“You can never stop pushing yourself,” she added.
Kolawole has continued establishing herself as one of Africa’s most dominant female wrestlers in recent years.
“She keeps raising the standard,” many sports observers believe.
Her latest triumph has further strengthened Nigeria’s reputation as one of Africa’s strongest wrestling nations.
“Nigeria continues producing top wrestlers,” supporters continue to celebrate.
For Kolawole, the message is clear.
Continental dominance is not enough.
The focus is now global success.
And the dream of becoming a world and Olympic champion remains alive.
Because true champions always search for bigger stages after conquering the current one.
