Former Head of State and Team Nigeria delegation Leader Gen. Yakubu Gowon has praised Team Nigeria for winning two Silver Medals at the Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast.
General Gowon was at the Carrara Stadium to watch Chukwuebuka Enekwechi throw 21.14metres in the Men's Shot-put final to clinch Silver behind New Zealand.
Gen Gowon also charged other athletes to work harder and get good results, while calling on the Nigerian community in Australia to troop out and support Team Nigeria.
In the final of the men's 100m Seye Ogunlewe posted a season's best of 10.19seconds to place 4th while 19year old Enoch Adegoke came 7th in 10.35secs.
Yinka Ajayi has advanced to the semi finals of the Women's 400m but Patience Okon and Folashade Abugan were disqualified for stepping out of lanes.
Earlier, Nigeria's Men's Table Tennis Team comprising Segun Toriola, Bode Abiodun and Olajide Omotayo secured a hard fought victory over England in the semi final but lost gallantly to Team India in the final with a silver medal to show for.
4 gold medals will be up for grabs in Para Power lifting, 3 in Hurdles, Triple jump and Hammer throws, while the 200m men and women will start on Tuesday.
The D'Tigers yet to clinch a match will also face Scotland.
