All attention at the National Youth Games has shifted to the athletic tracks as the chase for medals hots up in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Defending champions, Delta State are leaving no stones unturned, as they seek to increase their medal haul.
They have now amassed a total number of 48 medals at the ongoing games.
Edo State is sitting comfortably in second place on the log. Team Edo looks good to gather enough medals to sustain their position on the table with some of their athletes qualifying for the semi-final of the women 100M Athletics, while their Male Volleyball team also booked their place in the semi-finals.
Relief came the way of Team Kano, when Dorcas Dauda, on Sunday evening clinched gold in women’s 42kg wrestling event. Dorcas, at the University of Ilorin indoor sports hall, beat her opponent from Bayelsa to win the first Gold to be recorded by Team Kano at the Games.
